Duke Realty recently started construction on Wishard Health Services’ new faculty office building as part of a planned 37-acre, $754-million Eskenazi Health campus in downtown Indianapolis.
The five-story, 274,000-square-foot Fifth Third Faculty Office Building will house support functions for the hospital, including office space for administrative staff and Indiana University School of Medicine faculty physicians who will practice at the campus, as well as work space for both research and various academic support programs.
Along with an 11-story hospital tower and a planned ambulatory care building, the new facility will enable Eskenazi Health’s physicians and staff to be consolidated on one modern campus. Currently, physician offices are located in multiple older buildings throughout Indianapolis. The new building will be jointly owned by Duke Realty and Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County, which operates the Wishard system.
