Case Study: State-of-the-art Medical Office Building
Rudolph Libbe Group Helps ProMedica Get More Services Under One Roof
When healthcare leader ProMedica wanted to have more of its Northwest Ohio medical offices under one roof, and have a home for a new state-of-the-art Cancer Care Center to bring oncology services closer to home for the Perrysburg Community, they selected Rudolph Libbe Group (RLG) as the construction manager for its new Perrysburg Levis Medical Office Building. RLG successfully completed this modern, 84,000-square-foot building in the face of both weather and supply chain challenges.
Navigating Design Complexities
The construction of this new medical building involved intricate design elements including a curved steel structure and extensive glasswork, as well as specialized exam rooms which demanded meticulous coordination with equipment vendors. RLG leveraged advanced construction technology to successfully achieve the finished product, including Building Information Modeling, clash detection, Matterport, drone photography, and other building technology.
Overcoming Obstacles
As soon as construction started in November 2021, RLG encountered both weather and supply chain challenges, together threatening the already tight construction timeframe. However, thanks to RLG’s established contacts within the construction supplier base, and its extensive network of subcontractors, neither weather nor the supply chain kept the project from progressing, nor was quality or safety ever compromised.
“The RLG team … efficiently and expeditiously managed the project flawlessly through a challenging and ever-changing supply chain following the pandemic, all while staying within our budget. RLG’s attention to detail was especially appreciated regarding the unique and complex coordination of the installation of the cancer center. Its coordination with our vendors was seamless.”

Reliability

Those projects, and others over the years, demonstrated to ProMedica that RLG had the necessary expertise and commitment to complete this project on time, on budget and with unquestionable excellence and reliability.
