Oklahoma Health Center Master Plan 2007 - 2022
A Vision for Growth
This Executive Summary of the Oklahoma Health Center Master Plan is a
synopsis of the principal concepts, findings, guidelines, and recommendations for
the orderly development and growth of the Oklahoma Health Center (OHC) over
the next 15 years.
The principal objectives of the Oklahoma Health Center Master Plan are to:
!
!
!
Establish the OHC as the primary destination for health care and education
Achieve a campus that supports the missions and strategic goals of the OHC
Increase the OHC's status as a major economic engine for the region
The 60+ interviews conducted with 39 agencies and institutions revealed exciting
and dramatic plans for expansion. Nearly every entity on the OHC campus has
strategic plans for facility growth, and a number of other entities desire to locate
on or near the campus. The projects are summarized by time frame with the
estimated project costs as follows:
4 Major projects under construction
$
84,730,000
13 Projects that are funded but not under construction
$
180,681,000
38 Near-term planned projects (0-5 year horizon)
$
616,066,000
26 Mid-term planned projects (5-10 year horizon)
$
403,359,000
11 Long-term planned projects (10-15 year horizon)
$
197,745,000
Total, 92 projects
$ 1,482,581,000
These projects cover a broad range of health care, education, research
administrative, support services, housing, and infrastructure uses. The Master
Plan employs both an infill strategy for development of the existing campus and
an expansion strategy to extend the border of the OHC south to NE 4th Street.
Higher-density development of available land in both regions is paramount to
meeting the needs of such dramatic growth, i.e., replacing low-density uses such
as one and two story buildings and surface parking with higher-density, mixeduse facilities that include structured parking. The following is a breakdown of infill
and expansion projects with the projected gross square feet (gsf) of construction
and the estimated project costs:

Oklahoma Health Center Master Plan 2007 - 2022
A Vision for Growth, cont’d
16th Street
The most intensive growth is focused toward patient care, academics
and research in the core of the existing campus, and is driven primarily
by the vigorous expansion of the College of Medicine. Twenty-nine
projects are located in the vicinity of the Clinical Corridor (Phillips Avenue
between NE 6th and NE 13th Streets). They represent 3,430,000 gsf of
building and parking structures with an estimated project cost of
$698,800,000.
235
Among the outstanding features of the OHC are the broad, landscaped
building setbacks and meaningful greenspaces with gardens, water
features, paths, and benches woven between buildings. The Plan
extends these spaces along with pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular
connections linking the OHC to the Oklahoma River; to the Triangle and
the other new housing projects along I-235; to Bricktown and downtown;
and north to the State Capitol Park. The focal point of the Plan is the
broad greenway extending southward from NE 8th Street and connecting
to the Oklahoma River. Within this framework, growth and development
can occur with purpose and order.
The Plan submits recommendations on the means to enhance the
identity of the OHC campus, to improve access, circulation, wayfinding,
and parking, to strengthen the borders particularly on the north, and to
extend and supplement the current Health Center zoning areas and
designations.

The Plan also projects the parking needs of the OHC to grow by 14,000
spaces, an 83-percent expansion over the current capacity that impacts
access and circulation in momentous ways. It also influences the
manner in which parking is to be provided. The Plan encourages the use
of public transportation as a means to reduce parking spaces.

Executive Summary

OHC with Boundaries Extended Southward (2005 Photo)
!
A comprehensive, central authority acting in the common interests
of all agencies and institutions of the OHC regarding such shared
issues as gateways, the public realm, wayfinding and parking, to
name only a few
A priority consideration should be establishing either a new governing
authority or strengthening an existing entity, such as the Oklahoma
Health Center Foundation, to provide the management and
coordination leadership necessary to administer the common goals of
the Plan effectively.
Provisions should be considered to carry this planning process forward
in to the future with Plan Updates and Supplemental Reports on a biannual basis.
Implementation of the OHC Master Plan goals and recommendations
require leadership and action on two fronts:
!
The individual agencies and institutions acting severally to
accomplish their own strategic plans and timelines of growth
This Oklahoma Health Center Master Plan is the product of the vision
of M. Dewayne Andrews, M.D., Vice President for Health Affairs and
Executive Dean, College of Medicine, OUHSC, along with the
collaborative efforts among the OHC Institutions and the Miles
Associates / HOK Planning Group team, and the enthusiastic efforts
and coordination of Mr. Tom Godkins, Associate Vice President for
Facilities Management and Director of Capital Planning, OUHSC.

Executive Summary
Oklahoma Health Center Master Plan 2007 - 2022
Parking Strategy, cont’d
Goals
Short-term Recommendations
! Above-grade, naturally ventilated structures,
three to five levels, and with capacity to add two
levels in the future
! All new development must provide parking
spaces at the rate of 2.5 spaces per 1,000 sf
of building area
! Establish campus governing authority to
address parking issues on an Oklahoma
Health Center campus-wide basis
! In-ground, naturally ventilated structures, with
the upper deck at grade and one or two levels
in the ground
! Replace parking spaces lost to development
! Update and expand the 2003
comprehensive parking and traffic study of
the entire campus and include the growth
identified herein
! These structures are very adaptable to sloping
sites that simplify and enhance the design for
natural ventilation, and provide opportunity for
access at each level thereby eliminating the
need for internal ramps
! It is feasible to use in-ground parking structures
under buildings with the building either raised
above the top deck to maximize parking (e.g.,
the Oklahoma Allergy Clinic) or built on the top
deck (e.g., the Acree-Woodworth / Massman
Building at OMRF)
! Underground, mechanically ventilated
structures, with an open plaza and/or building
above, three or more levels deep, and with
limited or no future vertical expansion
capability
! These structures are typically twice the cost of
above-grade structures; consequently, they are
usually viable only when all other parking
options are unavailable
! Include structured parking with all new
building projects, either underground below
the new facility, adjacent to the new facility,
and/or nearby the new facility
! Encourage the development of perimeter
parking structures coupled with reliable
shuttle and/or public transportation systems
! Provide patients and visitors with 10 percent
more spaces in order to accommodate peak
load periods
! Prioritize parking allocations for patients,
visitors, community doctors and designated
staff at the most accessible locations in
parking structures and lots
! Confirm or adjust the target planning criteria
for campus-wide parking as part of parking
and traffic study updates
! Recommend campus-wide strategies
addressing key parking and
transportation issues
Long-term Recommendations
! Update traffic and parking studies every
three to five years
! Promote the establishment and use of public
transit, including fixed guideway systems, as
a strategy to reduce the growing numbers of
vehicles traveling and parking on campus

Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), and the
planning authority for transportation in
central Oklahoma) - Tinker Air Force Base is
an associate member
! Pursue additional direct freeway access
to/from the OHC campus, such as a Lottie
Avenue connection to the I-235/Sheridan
off-ramp for improved access to the east
campus facilities
! Improve the I-235 entrance/exit ramping
systems
! Encourage alternate routes of OHC
access/egress
! Improved traffic connections to the east side
of OHC are critical to the successful
utilization of this area
! Encourage access to/from the east on NE
8th/10th Streets and NE 4th Street to/from
campus (e.g., installation of directional
signage on I-35 and Martin Luther King
Boulevard)
! Pursue improved ramping access to I-235,
especially the southbound I-235 at the 4th
Street on-ramp
Local Area Roadway Network
Goals:
Short-term Recommendations:
Long-term Recommendations:
! Reduce the through-traffic to/from the State
Capitol Complex on Lincoln Boulevard in a
substantial way
! Investigate traffic signal timing improvements
during off-peak period
! Implement roadway modifications that will
focus through traffic that is not destined for
OHC to peripheral streets and away from
campus core (e.g., construct a new I-235
interchange in the vicinity of NE 18th Street
serving the Capitol Complex more directly
and effectively; improving the flow and
volume of traffic of the NE 23rd Street
interchange in a substantial way)
! Improve traffic flow at major intersections
! Eliminate dangerous practices
! Improve traffic safety, flow, and capacity
along NE 8th Street, east of Phillips Avenue
! Improve access to expanded parking
facilities on the northern border and service
vehicle access to/from VA Medical Center,
OMRF and the Colleges of Allied Health and
Public Health
! Construct additional turn bays to accommodate
peak traffic patterns (e.g., southbound and
northbound right turn lanes off Lincoln
Boulevard at 8th and 10th Streets)
! Upgrade Phillips Avenue to four lanes with
medians and left turn lanes from NE 13th Street
to NE 16th Street
! Upgrade NE 16th Street to four lanes with
medians and left-turn lanes from Phillips
Avenue to Kelley Avenue
! Eliminate the double tee intersections at
Kelley and NE 13th Street and Stonewall
Avenue and NE 13th Street for improved
traffic flow, wayfinding and safety of both
pedestrians and vehicles
! Re-align Kelley Avenue and Stonewall Avenue
to form a single intersection with NE 13th Street
and upgrade Kelley Avenue to four lanes with
medians and left-turn lanes from NE 13th Street
to NE 16th Street (to match Stonewall Avenue
south of 13th Street)
! Acquire and preserve right-of-way for future
improvement of NE 4th Street from Lincoln
Boulevard to Lottie Avenue
! Construct shuttle loading lanes at points where
buses stand for longer periods
! Connect Lincoln Boulevard to the proposed
I-40 Boulevard with a direct, on-grade link
! As opportunities occur, relocate driveways
Property Access
to secondary streets minimize driveways
located on major thoroughfares such as
Lincoln Boulevard and 10th Street
Goals:
Short-term Recommendations:
! Improve property access using standard
median openings
! Reconfigure the mid-block medians to
provide safe access to and exit from the
OMRF main entrance, and to provide
emergency vehicle access from westbound
13th Street to the relocated Children's
Emergency Center in Everett Tower
! Improve safety and traffic flow at
intersections with minimum driveway
setbacks
! Widen NE 8th Street to include medians and
left-turn lanes from Phillips Avenue to Lottie
Avenue
! Design future driveways at least 200-feet
from nearest major intersection
! Avoid temptation to create “specialized”
median openings: design driveways around
standard median openings

Extending the Vision
“The past is prologue to the future”
(unknown)
In the 35 years since 1971 when the Oklahoma Health Center began its
dramatic expansion that has resulted in today's campus, approximately 7
million square feet of buildings have been constructed; an average of
200,000 square feet per year.
Over the next 15 years, the growth of OHC is projected to be 4.75 million
square feet, an average of more than 300,000 square feet per year.
As the foundations of the past and the synergies of today translate into the
continuing growth of tomorrow, OHC can expect continued expansions of
its borders beyond the 15-year horizon of this study, even at the
conservative pace of the last 35 years.
Growth Opportunities
There will still be core space available for in-fill at a modest level in many
areas and a more robust level in limited areas such as the west side of
Phillips Avenue from 8th Street to Stanton L. Young Boulevard.
Older buildings on the existing campus will be replaced with larger, higher
density developments.
Eventual expansion southward to 1st Street offers great opportunity for
large developments.
The 13th Street Corridor will become an important link to development of
the northwest sector.

Proposed Zoning. It is imperative to consider the
expansion of the existing agencies and institutions, the
addition of new partners, and the transition of existing
neighborhoods to new uses in a comprehensive and
integrated forum. While application of Oklahoma City
Zoning in the expansion areas would be a satisfactory
combination, the use of CMZ Zoning, which is tailored
to the needs of the Health Center and related activities,
would be the superior partnership. It is our
recommendation the Capitol Medical Center Zoning
District be expanded southward to NE 4th Street,
between Lincoln Boulevard and Lottie Avenue.
