American Board of Emergency Medicine expanding facility by 6,000 sq ft

When the American Board of Emergency Medicine found they were outgrowing their East Lansing building, the national organization with board members on both coasts and a testing site in Chicago could have moved anywhere. 

 

"When we first started their master planning almost two years ago, they really spent some time looking at where they wanted to be located," says Alan Goschka of Bergmann Associates. "They did their due diligence and decided that East Lansing was the best place for their home. They are very proud of their facility."

 

That's good news for East Lansing, as well as Bergmann Associates, which is now managing the renovation and expansion of the ABEM's facility. First built in 1993, the 13,000 square foot building is receiving a 6,000 square foot addition. 

 

In addition to the extra space, Bergmann Associates have worked with local office interior experts DBI to renovate the existing space so the organization can make better use of the original portion of the facility. 

 

"Times are changing, and how people are working are changing," Goschka. "We gave them smaller, more efficient work stations but gave them more conference spaces."

 

Work on the project began about two weeks ago and Goschka the renovation will be complete by the end of the year. ABEM will continue to work from the facility throughout the duration of the project.
