In partnership with DPR Construction as the general contractor, Boulder Associates and SmithGroup are collaborating closely as co-leads in the planning, design, project management and execution of the health care facility’s expansion. AdventHealth Parker Hospital is a 170-bed, Level 2 trauma hospital located at E-470 and Parker Road. “Achieving this milestone is a testament to our collaborative efforts with Boulder Associates and DPR, with special recognition to AdventHealth’s senior executive team for their meaningful involvement in our decisionmaking throughout this process, ensuring we meet the increasing health care demands of this community,” said Brenna Costello, SmithGroup Health Studio leader in Colorado. When the tower is completed, AdventHealth Parker will have a capacity of 329 beds. With the goal of maintaining efficient, effective care for patients, the addition is situated such that the emergency department and the operating platform can expand seamlessly to the south with the bed floors following suit above. “This expansion marks a significant milestone in AdventHealth’s commitment to addressing the immediate need for expanded healthcare services in the Parker community,” said Tim Riddle, principal at Boulder Associates. “The entire project team came together to help deliver these essential resources as swiftly and diligently as possible. The project’s innovative design, accomplished within an exceptionally tight timeframe, showcases the strength of our teamwork.” Phase 1 allows for existing space to grow and support the program of the new tower. Phase 2 of the project will renovate 40,000 square feet of the existing facility, including expansions to the pharmacy, GI department and pre-/postoperative spaces. “AdventHealth Parker has assembled a great team to manage, design and deliver this project. Our team has completed multiple renovations and expansions on this campus since the original build. AdventHealth Parker has always been a great place of care, and we take that pride of care into what we build,” said Scott Miller, Mountain States Business Unit leader at DPR Construction. Due to the high demand and accelerated schedule for this project, the design teams implemented lean practices to maximize efficiency and capture a streamlined decision-making process. As part of this process, the teams utilized virtual reality to help user groups understand the project and fully realize the result. Other key partners included MGA as the structural engineer, Cator Ruma as the MEP engineer and SA Miro as the civil engineer. The project is being overseen by Adams Management as the owner’s representative. s DPR, SmithGroup & Boulder Associates team for AdventHealth Parker Hospital MGL Partners, a Coloradobased real estate and investment firm, and Rockefeller Group, the U.S. property developer, announced the launch of The Juniper, a luxu-ry multifamily community in Parker’s vibrant downtown neighborhood.

Vertix Builders completed construction of the Castle Rock Adventist-Neighborhood Health Clinic. Vertix is now underway with the renovation of the clinic’s urgent care department. The new 10,000-square-foot facility includes a 6,200-sf space for patient primary care, as well as 12 patient exam rooms and working space for up to six health care providers. The building’s structure was built using a “void foundation” to account for shifting soils, which also requires additional considerations for underground plumbing. The urgent care department will be the result of the renovation of 3,800 sf of shell space. It will include nine exam rooms as well as X-rays for patients. The urgent care unit is scheduled to open later this spring. “We’re proud to have partnered with Advent Health on another successful project that is expanding their footprint and helping them to continue to serve the health care needs of a local community,” said Ryan Bonner of Vertix Builders. “These successful outcomes are the result of a team of professionals who work closely together to find the best approach for scheduling, pricing, design, subcontractors and construction.”s Vertix Builders completes Castle Rock Adventist neighborhood clinic Castle Rock Adventist-Neighborhood Health Clinic Please see The Juniper, Page 42 Santulan Architecture designed the multifamily complex.
