In response to strategic planning and patient demand, CommonSpirit Health selected Mortenson to lead the expansion of St. Anthony North Hospital in Westminster, Colorado. This project involved the construction of a new five-story, 30-bed, 105,000-square-foot patient tower, strategically positioned above the existing main entrance. This expansion is a testament to our commitment to enhancing healthcare services for the local community.
New Patient Tower: The completed five-story tower houses three 30-bed medical-surgical units and a 25-bed intensive care unit (ICU). The design includes infectious isolation rooms and a 30,000-square-foot cancer center, which is scheduled to open in January 2025. The hospital now has an overall capacity of 237 beds.
Infrastructure Enhancements: To ensure seamless access, Mortenson reworked existing roads, drive lanes, parking, and drop-off areas. A new main entry canopy and drop-off loop were constructed, alongside the relocation of utilities and a 1,200-square-foot expansion of the Central Utility Plant.
Interior Renovations: The project included remodeling and relocating existing interior spaces across multiple levels to expand services and create a corridor connection to the new bed tower.
Collaborative Design and Construction: SmithGroup and Boulder Associates co-led the planning, design, and project management, with Mortenson serving as the General Contractor. The design emphasizes patient comfort, safety, and flexibility, with rooms offering expansive mountain views.
Cancer Center: A new ground-floor cancer center will provide centralized medical and radiation oncology services, featuring a 12-bay infusion center, radiation therapy, and a compounding pharmacy.
St. Anthony North Hospital, part of CommonSpirit Health, is a cornerstone of healthcare in the Greater Denver area. The expansion supports the hospital's mission to deliver person-centered care, emphasizing preventative health, wellness, and education. This project not only enhances the hospital's capacity but also sets a new standard for healthcare in the region.

This expansion is more than just a building; it symbolizes our dedication to advancing medical care and enhancing patient experiences. We are proud to have contributed to a project that will touch, heal, and improve countless lives in the community.
To maintain smooth access, Mortenson will rework the existing road, drive lanes, parking and drop-off to the main entry and Emergency Department parking lot, as well as construct a new main entry canopy and drop-off loop.
Additionally, Mortenson will relocate the existing utilities displaced due to the new patient tower location and expand the Central Utility Plant by approximately 1,200 square feet.
