Gates Vascular Institute, Postmodern medical building in Buffalo, United States.

Gates Vascular Institute is a medical facility in Buffalo that specializes in vascular care and treatment. The building houses clinical departments alongside research laboratories to support both patient treatment and scientific advancement.

The Gates Vascular Institute opened on May 24, 2012, at 875 Ellicott Street, next to Buffalo General Medical Center. It was designed by Mehrdad Yazdani of CannonDesign and cost about $290 million. In 2013 it won the AIA Healthcare Design Award, whose jury praised its shared spaces and integrated planning.

The building's name links it to the Gates family, whose foundation helped fund it, and it shares a campus with Buffalo General Medical Center. Visitors see a 10-story vertical campus where the first four floors hold the Gates Vascular Institute and the upper half holds UB's Clinical and Translational Research Center.

The institute occupies the first four floors of the ten-storey building at 875 Ellicott Street, next to Buffalo General Medical Center, with the research centre above. The combined complex holds 610 beds, 28 operating rooms, 17 interventional labs, four CT scanners and four MRIs, plus a new emergency department and helipad. The Universal Grid's open plan lets zones be converted to new functions without altering mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

The building's "Universal Grid" rests on three 10'6" modules forming a 31'6" square structural grid with 18-foot floor-to-floor heights. This lets mechanical, electrical and plumbing cores stay untouched while whole zones are converted to new functions. The design earned the 2013 AIA Healthcare Design Award.
