Project overview
A consolidated destination for outpatient care.
The 293,000-square-foot, seven-story Denver Health Outpatient Medical Center was designed to bring specialty clinics and services together in one location, including orthopedics and radiology.
Consolidating services previously spread across older campus buildings creates a single destination for patients. The design includes simplified routes to clinics and spaces for physicians and staff to collaborate.
The project was part of a $937 million voter-approved bond package, with $75 million contributing about half of the outpatient center’s cost.
The building was designed to represent Denver’s neighborhoods, including a Union Station theme on the first floor. Expanded clinic space responds to growing demand for specialty services.
