Kaleida Health/Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital Reuse
The day to day operations of the school and hospital would be the responsibility of the School or
University. The management of the residential space, the buildings and green spaces would be
performed by an Affinity management entity. Affinity has a long history of responsible property
management experience.
Design
A major theme of this redevelopment would be that of a “healing center” which is how it began
in 1911.The site plan returns the property to a campus setting by not only bringing back original
green areas but adding additional green spaces as well. The site also incorporates water features
and areas designed to be soothing and meditative. This is detailed in Section 4.
Our sustainable plan starts with the actual reuse of buildings, saving valuable resources, and goes
on to include several energy saving features while incorporating public green spaces that would
be in concert with Frederic Law Olmsted’s vision for Chapin Parkway. We would also reuse and
recycle as many building materials, not used or from demolition, as possible. This is detailed in
Section 4.
Allocation of Existing Spaces
Our development plan would preserve and rehabilitate the original 1911 Homeopathic Hospital
as well as restore and rehabilitate the Center Building, West Building, Admissions Building, Medical
Services Building and the Power Plant. The buildings that surround the original hospital being the
East Wing, part of the Research Building, part of the South Building, the Wood Shop and South
Nurses Buildings would come down, allowing the 1911 buildings and green space surrounding
them to be restored. In addition, there would be approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of new building
construction.
The Breakdown of Space by Use would be as follows:
The Veterinary Hospital - would occupy the Medical Services Building and would use 112,500 sq.
ft. of net space which would include the Auditorium. The balance of space in that building would
remain as mechanical and support space.
Specialty Veterinary - would include Dental, Optometry, Cardiology, Neurology, Accupuncture
and others and would use approximately 12,000 sq. ft. in the Center Building.
Academic Areas - include Classrooms, Study Areas, Library, Offices for Administrative and
Professors/Teachers as well as miscellaneous support and would occupy 75,000 sq. ft. located in
the following Buildings; Center, West and Admissions.
Social Areas - would include a Student Commons, Fitness Facility, Meeting Rooms, Community
Space and a Large Multi-Purpose room which would occupy approximately 23,200 sq. ft.
Future Expansion Areas – Center and West Buildings would have approximately 77,300 sq. ft for
expansion as additional courses are added.
