Phoenix firms Orcutt|Winslow and Kitchell have been selected to design and construct a new patient tower at Chandler Regional Medical Center, located in Chandler, Ariz. Site work on the five-story inpatient tower is set to begin this month, with vertical construction slated to start by November 2012.
With the addition of 96 new in-patient beds bringing the total number of beds up to 339, the medical center at the intersection of Dobson and Frye roads aims to experience fewer capacity restraints and enhance key services. “We are confident that this expansion will help meet the needs of the community by allowing us to develop new healthcare services and expand existing ones,” says Patty White, Chandler Regional Medical Center president and CEO, in a statement.
