Much of the attention surrounding the University of Michigan's new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital has centered on its advanced technology, improvements to the patient experience and how it changes the birthing experience for mothers.
But one of the most breaktaking elements of the new hospital has nothing to do with the $754 million, 1.1 million-square-foot facility.
It's the sweeping new views of Ann Arbor and southeast Michigan that instantly catch your eye when you find your way to the congenital heart care center on the hospital's 11th floor.
The views are comparable only to a few other high-rise spots throughout town.
Pat Warner, executive director of the hospitals, said that on a clear day, you can see General Motors' headquarters at the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit from the 11th floor of the new Mott Hospital.
The hospital also sits right next to the picturesque Nichols Arboretum, which is still sporting beautiful fall colors.
