Health Care REIT, a leading real estate investment trust, acquired the former Dana Corporation campus in Toledo. This somewhat stodgy and dark 1970’s era headquarters building, located in a 166 acre park-like setting, was transformed into an energetic light-infused, state-of-the-art headquarters for Health Care REIT. This design solution shows that a forward-leaning, contemporary interior can successfully be integrated within a historically sensitive exterior in ways that enhance and enrich both. Through the efforts of the design team and the owner, the project has achieved LEED PLATINUM certification from USGBC. New sustainable design features include a solar hot water system, green roof terrace, retention pond, walking trails, highly efficient HVAC systems, and a two-acre solar photovoltaic field.For more details and images of the Health Care REIT Corporate Headquarters, visit ARCHITECT‘s Project Gallery.
