TRENDSETTER
UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital, Longmont,
Colo., opened August 2017

C
OLORADO-BASED hospital system UCHealth is experiencing increased demand for services in several fastgrowing communities. Faced with a tight time frame
of one to three years for delivering new facilities, Sean
Menogan, vice president of facilities, design and construction, for UCHealth, determined that the optimal
solution would be a small hospital designed to expand
over time. Working closely with EYP Health (Houston
and Dallas), the planning team developed a prototype hospital-a "chassis"
that could be site-adapted and would allow for rapid and efficient development of new facilities, saving time and money in the long run.
UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital in Longmont, Colo., is the first of
the prototype hospitals to welcome patients, opening in August 2017.
It showcases several design strategies that provide for flexibility and
growth, such as a departmental program that uses standardized rooms
and units that can be replicated and scaled, to allow for local demands yet
maintain operational workflow across the system. The public concourse
placed at the front of the hospital and support services circulation at the
center serve as permanent elements that set the stage for phased horizontal expansion. This strategy allows future growth of inpatient beds as
well as diagnostic and support services to occur while keeping the hospital in operation and limiting disruption to patients and patient care.
Visually, the architecture of Longs Peak provides a form and materials
template from which to develop future facilities. Both interior and exterior finishes represent a palette that reflects the hospital's Front Range
mountain context. Colorado Buff stone, brick, and wood combine with
sleek metal and glass, inside and out, to create a facility with a clear Colorado identity that can be readily adapted to other facilities. The arc of
the curved roof serves as a recognizable, branded element that announces new UCHealth facilities throughout the region. The prototype hospital template is currently being replicated in
Highlands Ranch and Greeley, Colo., the locations of two
newly planned hospitals in the UCHealth system.
