Franciscan St. Anthony Replacement Hospital

Kimley-Horn provided survey, wetland, civil design, helipad design, and site permitting services for the new Franciscan Health development located on an 86-acre site in Michigan City.

The five-story, 440,000 square foot hospital contains 120 beds and 870 parking spaces. Kimley-Horn’s services also included master planning for the hospital campus to accommodate 65,000 square feet of future medical office and associated parking. Kimley-Horn coordinated with the county, city, and utility agencies for the extension of 3,500 linear feet of sanitary sewer. The project involved the complexity of minimizing wetland impacts while facilitating offsite mitigation for approximately 3.4 acres of permanent wetland impacts. Kimley-Horn accommodated the complex site hydrology, incorporating three separate stormwater detention facilities, while maintaining earthwork balance within the property
