Wyoming Medical Center - West Tower
Company: GSG Architecture (Design Architect: Davis Partnership) Project Type: Healthcare Construction Type: New Construction, Addition Description: The 96,000 sf West Tower addition made the Wyoming Medical Center the largest hospital in the state of Wyoming. The tower houses dietary services and cafeteria, admissions offices, a chapel, and an obstetrics unit consisting of six LDRs, twelve antepartum/post-partum private rooms, a twelve-bassinet nursery, and a C-section suite. A twenty-four-bed orthopedic unit, and a four-bed inpatient bariatric complete the addition. The redesign of the main entry, front entry drive, and lobby creates a new “front door” for the Wyoming Medical Center campus. My Role: I joined the project to help complete construction documents, mostly working on life safety drawings, as well as develop and document a TI fitness center that was constructed as shell space. I also documented the renovation of spaces in the previously built hospital like infectious disease and surgical rooms due to other departments moving into the new tower. Challenges: Learning to work with the State Health Department was a level of oversight that I had yet to work with up to this point. Also, following the project through post-occupancy provided valuable feedback on material and program choices.
