Bed Tower and Expansion

Salas O’Brien provided comprehensive engineering design services for a major healthcare expansion in Northern Colorado, designed to meet growing regional demand. The project includes a new north-side tower that will expand hospital capacity from 191 to 323 beds while adding a dedicated cancer center, expanded emergency department, and enhanced imaging and cardiac services.

Phase 1 includes new imaging and cardiac catheterization facilities, as well as a medical office building (MOB) housing the cancer center. Phase 2 delivers a 229,270-square-foot inpatient tower connected to the MOB, along with a larger emergency department. The cancer center comprises 16,000 square feet of oncology space, including a 10,000-square-foot infusion center with 22 treatment bays. The inpatient tower provides 96 ICU beds and has infrastructure in place to support future expansion. Emergency services will be expanded with 12 additional treatment beds and 10 clinical decision unit beds. The project also includes new cardiac imaging suites and significant infrastructure upgrades.
