Bon Secours Hospital
Grosse Pointe, Michigan
Architect: Rossetti Associates
General Contractor: Edward V. Monahan, Inc.
Mason Contractors: Cavanaugh Construction Co.
Smith-Santoro Inc.
The owner wished to double the bed capacity of the existing Bon Secours Hospital from 160 beds to 320 and to stay on an extremely small site. The problems were to design in scale and materials that would not violate the residential character of the neighborhood and to construct new, remove obsolete and remodel existing buildings while the hospital continued its business as usual.
Four Detroit-area architects have won "M Awards" for excellence in masonry design in the 1975 design competition co-sponsored by the Masonry Institute of Michigan and the Michigan Society of Architects. Pictured above is the Bon Secours Hospital in Grosse Pointe winner of one of the awards.
Other winners were:
Giffels Associates, Inc., Detroit, for the Headquarters Building of the Automobile Association of Michigan in Dearborn.
Savin Wycoff Phillips, Inc., Southfield, for the World Camera & Sound building in Livonia.
Smith, Hinchman & Grylls Associates, Inc., Detroit, for the World Headquarters of the S. S. Kresge Company in Troy.
The winning projects were selected from among 48 entries submitted by member firms of the Michigan Society of Architects by a distinguished jury of Chicago architects, headed by John A. Holabird, FAIA. In presenting the awards, Holabird was joined by John A. Heslip, executive director of the Masonry Institute of Michigan, and Eugene DiLaura, AIA, president of the Michigan Society of Architects.
The winning architects and project owners received cast bronze plaques known as "M Awards." Also honored were the mason contractors on each project: Rohn Fireproofing Company of Oak Park on the AAA building; Smith-Santoro, Inc., Southfield, and Cavanaugh Construction Company, Troy, on Bon Secours Hospital; Kowalczyk Construction on World Camera & Sound; and Darin & Armstrong, Inc., Detroit, on the Kresge building.
