Size: 50,000 square feet

Start date: October 2016

Lead architect: Somerville Inc., Green Bay

Number of workers employed: 240 in total, having a peak crew size of 65 workers and average crew size of 40 workers.

Significance to the region: The new Bellin Health clinic is part of the Green Bay Packers’ 34-acre, $130 million Titletown District development. The district, which lies just west of Lambeau Field, will also include a 144-room Lodge Kohler hotel and Hinterland Restaurant and Brewery. The clinic, for its part, will house MRI, X-ray, fluoroscopy and ultrasound equipment. It will also include a VIP section that allows well-known patients’ privacy while they receive treatment. The clinic will be a primary-care location for Packers players, and will also be open to the public.

Project challenges: Crews are working on an aggressive project schedule and having to deal with a site that has unsuitable soils and a high water table. Auger-cast piles are being used to support the clinic’s foundation due to soil that isn’t capable of supporting the building loads.
