Denver Veterans Affair Medical Center The new replacement hospital on the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Campus

in Aurora, being built by the Department of Veterans Affairs, encompasses 1.1

million square feet and consists of 9 buildings, 3 parking garages and a center

concourse that connects the buildings. Total site area contains 33 acres for the

project. 22 acres of the project are structures and pavements, while the

remaining 11 acres are softscape aiding in the absorption of storm runoff from

roofs and pavement. An acre of extensive green roof serves as the first flush

for the water quality of the project.

Landscaping has been designed to take advantage of the native foliage of

Colorado. Not only do these plants generally require less irrigation, fertilizer

and care than other non-native selections, but they remind us all of the beauty

of the outdoors around us. Drip irrigation systems will be used and may use

non-potable water to reduce potable water use. Perennial and native grass

plantings will provide a beautiful landscaping backdrop throughout the year

but require little maintenance after the first few years. Natural Colorado stone

is being used where possible to provide fencing and security barriers.

Childrens Hospital Colorado East Wing Addition Childrens Hospital Colorado East Wing Addition

Childrens Hospital Colorado East Wing Addition

With the expansion of the existing Childrens Hospital came the need for the new addition to included a separate drop-off for the new maternal fetal medicine center, improved staff entrance, rehabilitation playground, horticulture therapy area, and the study for relocation of the Garden of Hope.

Curvilinear walkways and native grass plantings unite the new landscape to the existing. A protected area adjacent to the playground provides a place for therapist to engage patients in various activities such as; planting, weeding, watering, plant identification, and harvesting. This horticulture therapy area includes a gently sloping wall to provide seating for children of all ages, while a raised central circular planter allows for accessible gardening. The adjacent enclosed play area is designed for flexibility and use by various programs with children of all ages. Traditional play equipment is accented with whimsical climbing sculptures and colorfully designed safety surfacing thus providing an inviting, playful and social space.

Exempla Lutheran Medical Center North Pavilion

Exempla Lutheran Medical Center North

Pavilion

The North Pavilion project at Exempla Lutheran Medical Center introduces a new 275,000 SF multi-story building addition to the northeast portion of the existing hospital. Much of the original 1934 hospital was demolished for this new addition. As part of the demolition many of the original terra cotta architectural pieces on the building were saved and introduced into the new architecture and the surrounding landscape. Extensive site work was completed to complement the new pavilion and original campus. A new entry drive, arrival plaza and clock tower, entry courtyard and multiple garden spaces present a village feeling to this part of the campus while recognizing the historical legacy of the original structures on the site. The garden spaces offer a pleasant and inviting space for all to view, enjoy and interact with as part of their healing or respite process. These gardens are situated so they can be easily accessed and viewed from many of the interior spaces of the hospital. Ornamental plantings in these gardens are arranged to reflect the existing natural surroundings of the site while respecting the history of the existing campus. The introduction of antique terra cotta into the gardens added a nostalgic touch.

Great care and thought went into incorporating these antique terra cotta pieces from the original hospital into the site. Site wall pilasters and planters suited best for these pieces to help reflect the medical campus legacy. These elements help soften and enhance the architecture while creating “garden rooms” where users have the freedom and control to interact with the seasonal plantings that provide them with a temporary escape from their interior environment.

Craig Hospital Mike Utley Terrain Park

Craig Hospital Mike Utley Terrain Park

Mike Utley Terrain Park

The Mike Utley Terrain Park at Craig Hospital was designed to promote positive health outcomes for individuals recovering from spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries. The Park is an exterior training facility and was originally an idea suggested by one of the Hospital's physical therapists. The design intent was to provide a safe training facility in close proximity to the hospital where physical therapists could work with their patients, navigating challenging elements they will encounter in everyday life.

Required training elements were strategically placed in the park. Beginners are able to maneuver with relative ease then graduate to more challenging features. As with any project, budget was a major factor. H+L's team identified a design that would work within the budget parameters. Craig Hospital's Foundation realized the importance of this project and began a whirlwind fundraising effort. The major donor for the park was The Mike Utley Foundation, contributing over 75% of the needed funds. The remaining funds came from additional donors and a donor paver program.

Longmont United Hospital ED “Garden of Peace”

Longmont United Hospital ED “Garden of Peace”

Longmont United Hospital ED Addition and “Garden of Peace”

Several outdoor spaces were created as part of the new emergency addition to Longmont United Hospital. The “Garden of Peace” resulted from a 40 foot space separation requirement between the existing hospital and the new ED. This connection links the existing hospital wing to the main public pavilion and serves as a shortcut between the buildings. The courtyard mimics a mountain forest to evoke a sense of tranquility and spirituality. The serpentine walkway weaves users through a dense grove of Aspen trees and ground plantings dotted with accent boulders to their destination. Small seating spaces along the walkway aligned with specially selected site furniture invite users to slowdown, relax and enjoy the intimate outdoor setting. This space has developed into a valuable outdoor amenity accessible to all.

Indian Peaks Medical Center Master Plan & Urgent Care Center

An 65 acre greenfield site in the town of Frederick, Colorado was chosen for Longmont United to expand their services in an underserved area. The existing site has been a farmstead from multiple generations. Agricultural fields of alfalfa and corn dominate the landscape. Under the surface of the site numerous mine shafts, fractures and subsidence areas were identified, so careful attention was taken when developing the master plan for the new facilities and future expansion. Additional Gas wells and irrigation ditches transverse the site leaving limited area for the medical centers development.

The master plan for the future medical center included a full hospital with ED services and MOB’s. The first phase of the project is a 36,000 square foot Urgent Care Center.

Site design concepts for the Center are to minimize the disturbance of the existing agriculture crops so they can still be farmed with this development and each additional expansion of the medical center. Great effort has been to design and control storm runoff from each phased development and return it back to the agriculture lands and adjacent ditches. Ideas of porous pavement parking stalls and bio-swales/infiltration planters are part of the master drainage and storm runoff control plan.

Native high plain plantings and local materials have been specified to keep the Center and future development phases in tune with the surrounding agriculture landscape.

St. Joseph’s Medical Pavilion Entry Plaza

St. Joseph’s Medical Pavilion Entry Plaza

This plaza offers a place of respite and solitude for visitors, staff and the neighboring community of St. Joseph’s Hospital. The plaza’s layout is fashioned after the previous park space and pedestrian movements that once occupied the corner of the site. The design offers multiple access points into the plaza and embraces the cross axial pedestrian movement from the hospital to adjacent retail services. A variety of seating elements offer individuals and small groups a secure feeling of comfort within this modest space. Three raised concrete planter seat walls were put in place to buffer adjacent street activities from the plaza space. Masses of perennials and grasses provide an understory screen while above, Honeylocust trees offer dappled shade to the plaza.

Anschutz Health and Wellness Center

Anschutz Health and Wellness Center

The AHWC is a unique and exciting addition on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus that will serve the existing centers for Human Nutrition, Integrative Medicine, and Women’s Health Research programs. It is designed to empower individuals to strive for health-conscious lives, promote healthier communities, and target pressing health issues such as disease prevention.

As proven by many research studies, a connection to the landscape has many health benefits. Therefor the landscape design strives for an inside-outside connection promoting a healthy lifestyle. The relationship with the landscape starts with the extension of the bistro into an exterior patio. South of the bistro patio is a garden with plenty of seating opportunities. The linear design of the garden planting reflects the agrarian culture and connection of food and landscape. The selected plant species appeal to all senses including taste. Perennial herbs inside the garden are aesthetically pleasing and can be used in the demonstration kitchen. The connection to the outdoors continues on the upper levels with the inception of an accessible green roof. Panoramic views make this space the ideal for fundraisers and special events. Again the connection to a healthy lifestyle is made with planting space to grow organic produce for the bistro. Special accommodations have been made to allow for a future greenhouse addition.
