The Indu & Raj Soin Medical Center (IRSMC), located in Beavercreek, Ohio is a new full-service 259,000-square-foot hospital and the centerpiece of the Mills-Morgan Medical Campus.

Danis Building Construction Company, a longtime supplier to Kettering Health Network, was selected to be the project’s construction manager, while renowned architectural firm HOK was contracted to design the actual structure. California-based healthcare interior design expert, Jain Malkin Inc., was chosen to create the interior themes. Large format porcelain tile was specified across 68,000 square feet of the project, the bulk of which featured sizes from 24 by 48 inches to 24 by 12 inches. The tile was produced by the Italian manufacturer, Caesar Ceramiche.

“The nicest thing about this grand scale installation was that from the very beginning, everything was done at the highest professional degree by everyone involved,” says Dave Leal, president of SpecCeramics. “When we look back and think about sizable commercial tile projects which we were proud being part of, clearly the Indu & Raj Soin Medical Center falls into that category.”

The project received the mention of honour in the Corporate Category at the Design Competition Award 2013.
