Michigan Behavioral Health Center Features Wausau Windows, Tubelite Curtain Wall

Opened in March 2026, the Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health features Michigan’s first pediatric psychiatric urgent care center and specialty services. The purpose-built, 136,000-square-foot facility is a newly constructed building that features Apogee Architectural Metals’ Wausau windows and Tubelite curtain wall.

Set on a wooded 220-acre Grand Rapids campus, the new Pediatric Center expands inpatient care by 3,000 children annually and by 10,000 for outpatient care, while allowing for future expansion. 

Design

BWBR designed the center with a guiding principle of “No Wrong Door,” creating multiple points of entry to ease the path to treatment for families. Based on feedback from children and teens, the facility presents an approachable atmosphere with a treehouse-themed environment inspired by the surrounding forest.

Apogee products used

Vos Glass installed Wausau 4000i-DT Behavioral Care Windows and Tubelite 400T Series Curtain Wall to meet the project’s requirements for occupant safety, energy efficiency and long-term durability. Linetec, also part of Apogee Architectural Metals, provided thermal barriers and architectural finishing for both systems.
