Healthcare
Saunders' healthcare portfolio covers the full spectrum of project types, from occupied inpatient remodels and additions, to new hospitals, medical office buildings to assisted living care centers, and everything in between.
We are mindful that two years ago today, we got the CO and were handed the keys to our hospital. It is a milestone for us and I am grateful for your help in getting us to where we are today. We've come a long ways and are appreciative for the teamwork that resulted in all we are becoming.”
– David Hamm, President and CEO, Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center
Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center
This 551,000 sf state-of-the-art hospital was constructed via a joint venture relationship in approximately 26 months. The initial phase of the 74-acre, multiple owner campus included the main 166 bed, five floor hospital, an adjacent diagnostic and treatment facility, two medical office buildings totaling approximately 320,000 sf, a central utility plant for the campus, a fully equipped imaging center and over 2,300 ground level parking spaces.
The buildings are cast-in-place concrete structures with brick, metal and glazing for the exterior panels. Two of the hospital’s primary features are a southeast facing two-story glass atrium main entry and west facing mountain views from each patient room.
