About the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health
Frank Gehry designed this Las Vegas center, which the Cleveland Clinic operates, and it opened on May 21, 2010. It is an outpatient facility for neurology, devoted to research, treatment of patients and education on brain disorders. The center focuses mainly on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, on multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunological disorders, and on movement disorders, including Parkinson's and Huntington's disease.
Larry Ruvo founded Keep Memory Alive with others in memory of Lou Ruvo, his father, who was a victim of Alzheimer's disease. The charity supports the mission of the center and ranks among the most important charity initiatives in Las Vegas. The ceremonial groundbreaking took place on February 9, 2007, for a $70 million project.
Gehry's design was described as "riotously sculptural"; its opposing sections allude to the left-brain, right-brain dichotomy. Others saw modern architecture unmoored from aesthetics in it. The City of Las Vegas deeded the land, in downtown Las Vegas, to Keep Memory Alive as part of the 25 ha (61 acres) Symphony Park. The center covers approximately 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft). Inside are 13 examination rooms, a community auditorium, a "Museum of the Mind", and offices for researchers and for health care practitioners.
