To build Corewell Health Place, an existing manufacturing building had to be torn down. The site formerly housed a brass stamping plant with enormous concrete foundations to support the machinery, all of which had to be removed. In many situations, demolition waste is diverted to landfills. However, Rockford’s project team quickly realized the concrete foundations could be crushed and recycled as site material for the new building. In total, more than 20,000 tons of concrete — double the weight of the Eiffel Tower — was removed from the ground and crushed to be recycled.
- Eight-story office building

Our team also recycled 1,250 tons of steel, along with thousands of fluorescent light bulbs. More than 94% of the building waste from the former facility was able to be reused or recycled. The result is a cleaner construction site, less waste and less trucking to bring material on site.
A cohesive campus was created for Corewell Health through new vertical construction, major renovation, structured parking, and collaborative learning space to streamline system-wide operations. Advanced laser scanning, integrated design processes, and BIM-driven coordination reduced costs and improved precision at every stage.
The campus includes an on-site fitness facility, game room for employees and a large, dedicated event space.
