Project Overview
BKBM provided structural and civil engineering services for a new 30-room inpatient addition and a central utility plant at Hutchinson Health. The project included the integration of new medical facilities with existing infrastructure, stormwater management, and utility upgrades—all designed to maximize operational efficiency for the hospital campus.
Project Highlights
- Inpatient Addition:
- Construction of a 30-room patient unit, expanding the hospital’s capacity to serve the region’s healthcare needs.
- Structural systems comprise cast-in-place concrete, composite metal deck, masonry, and structural steel for robust, adaptable construction.
- Central Utility Plant & Utility Bridge:
- New utility plant connects to the main hospital building via a utility bridge on the south side, supporting efficient hospital operations and future campus growth.
- Stormwater Management:
- Civil engineering included the design of a filtration basin north of the new addition to meet stormwater management requirements and protect site sustainability.
- Collaborative Project Delivery:
- Consistent coordination with Hutchinson Health staff and Kraus Anderson facilitated on-time completion and aligned the design with operational, safety, and patient care priorities.
