Scope Of Work
This six-story, 270,000-sq.-ft. parking structure was developed as part of a joint venture project by The Childrens Hospital and Exempla Saint Josephs Hospital. The cast-in-place structure provides close to 900 spaces to be shared equally among the employees of the two hospitals. Once Dan Bassett was assigned the responsibility for success of the Colorado Region he and his project team worked diligently to accommodate the requests of both owners and ensure equal access between the two hospitals. Dan Bassett and his project team worked closely with Carl Walker & Associates, which specializes in parking design, to generate an innovative traffic pattern in the garage that allows street entrances from each hospital. Located on a hill, the garage required a split-level design with one entrance on the first floor and the other on the second, making the street elevations different. Two separate employee card access systems also had to be installed. Stairways and elevator shafts were built on opposite ends of the building with sheer curtain wall glass for added security.
