Cardiovascular Center at the University of Mississippi Medical Center

We’re excited to see progress on the new Cardiovascular Center at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Awarded the project in 2010, CDFL designed a new heart facility that includes three catheter procedure labs, two electrophysiology procedure labs, seventeen private patient recovery rooms, a non-invasive cardiovascular department, staff offices, and conference room.

Demolition of an existing building was the first step in getting the project underway. Following the demolition, site work prepared the ground for new work to begin. Currently, steel structure is being erected and will be followed by the glass and brick “skin” of the building.

Patients and visitors will be greeted by a fully covered drop-off area and two-story reception and lobby area. Thanks to generous expanses of glass throughout, the space will be bathed in natural light. CDFL worked closely with the UMMC staff to design a building that will blend seamlessly into the existing campus while adding a fresh, contemporary addition that is reflective of the Heart Center’s new identity.
Project completion is set for 2014.
