State-of-the-art facility will advance care and research for neurological diseases.

Turner Construction Company celebrated a major milestone in the construction of the $1 billion Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute, placing the topping out beam during a ceremonial event. The event was attended by approximately 600 guests, including Turner staff, trade partners, the design team, and Cleveland Clinic representatives.

Spanning more than 1 million square feet, the cutting-edge facility is designed and being built to enhance inpatient and outpatient neurological care. It will house advanced imaging and surgical services, research and innovation laboratories, and collaborative treatment spaces focused on understanding and treating disorders of the brain, spine, and nerves.

“Reaching this significant milestone is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of our entire team, trade partners, design team, and the Cleveland Clinic,” said Paul LeClair, Vice President and Construction Executive, Turner Construction Company. “This project represents more than steel and concrete—it embodies a commitment to advance neurological care and will have a positive impact on those affected by Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders. We are proud to help deliver a world-class facility that will make a lasting impact on patients, caregivers, and the broader community.” 

Dr. Andre Machado, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of the Neurological Institute at Cleveland Clinic, emphasized the facility’s important role in advancing neurological care: “This is a unique facility dedicated to the outpatient and inpatient care of patients with disorders of the brain, spine and nerves. It will house a highly advanced and integrated team of professionals who have a dual mission: to provide the best care possible today while discovering the neurological care of tomorrow.”

Taurean Spratt, Vice President and General Manager stated, “The topping out of the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute is a major milestone for Northeast Ohio. This facility will stand as a place of hope, healing, and innovation for generations to come. We celebrate not just the progress of construction, but the promise of better healthcare.
