The University of Michigan Health System today showed off the new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital to the news media for the first time.

The $754 million, 1.1 million-square-foot facility took five years to complete — and it's expected to open Dec. 4. With about 6,000 employees, 500 new workers and 348 inpatient rooms, the Ann Arbor facility is among most technologically sophisticated medical facilities in the country.

AnnArbor.com business news director Nathan Bomey, business reporter Lizzy Alfs, U-M reporter Kellie Woodhouse, photographer Melanie Maxwell and photographer Angela J. Cesere toured the facility today.
