Balfour Resource Group

In 2007, Vanderbilt University Medical Center selected 100 Oaks Mall as a site to relocate a portion of the out-patient clinics from the main medical campus.  Balfour Resource Group was engaged to meet the numerous challenges this unique project presented. The renovation of this retail space into a medical facility offered a dynamic opportunity for future adaption because of the spatial commonality between the clinics. While each clinic required specific equipment advancements to attain the highest level of patient care, BRG was tasked with maintaining flexibility and standardization to allow for fluctuation between clinics over time. BRG also assisted in ascertaining and implementing infrastructure requirements for data transmission between the main hospital and the new satellite location that many of the sophisticated pieces of equipment necessitated. In addition to these undertakings, BRG helped facilitate a multi-phase relocation and occupation schedule for equipment while reducing duplication of effort and costs.  In 2009, the campus was completed with a host of services including:

• Adolescent Medicine,  Breast Center,  Dermatology, Heart Center, Imaging, Internal Medicine, Interventional Pain, Medical Infusion, Multiple Sclerosis, Neurodiagnostics, Pediatric Allergy, Pediatric Rehabilitation, Pharmacy, Preoperative Evaluation Center, Rapid Response Lab, Surgical Weight Loss, University Pediatrics, Volunteer Services, Women’s Health & Women’s Imaging

100 Oaks: A History
In the 1940s and 50s, the current mall was a simple house with a split rail fence and 98 oak trees.  When the Suschnick family moved in, two more oak trees were planted and they named their home “One Hundred Oaks”.  This property retained its name when it became a mall in the late 1960s. The thriving mall began to deteriorate over time and by 1996 underwent a renovation that included a movie theater. However, in less than ten years the property was again a blemish to the area and Vanderbilt University Medical Center saw the opportunity to expand their medical services.
