A $120-million greenfield orthopedic and spine hospital in northern Colorado Springs features 72 beds, 10 intensive care unit beds, 10 specialty-size operating rooms, a 14-bed emergency department and imaging with computed tomography and ultrasound.
The 140,000-sq-ft facility also includes a rehabilitation sports field and helipad on top of the parking garage. This is the first phase of development on the 58-acre site. Smart rooms and digital engagement will enable patients to have digital access to view their care teams, adjust room conditions, order food and access entertainment and support services. During preconstruction, the owner requested a full schematic design estimate just 2.5 weeks after the team received the design documents. But leading up to the client meeting, estimates were tracking over budget, so operations, preconstruction, earthworks, MEP and other members of the team rallied together virtually and brought the budget down in just six hours.
