GRAND OPENING!
Boulder Associates Architects
designed the recently completed
Jan Bishop Cancer Center at Yampa
Valley Medical Center.
The state-of-the-art facility, which
serves patients and their families
in Steamboat Springs and beyond,
comprises 8,900 square feet. The
cancer center was designed to
replace an existing small and out-
dated facility into a modern, com-
fortable, healing environment.
“It's about providing care to can-
cer patients in smaller communi-
ties without them having to drive
to major cities, in a setting that
assures them they are receiving
world-class care,” said architect
James Lenhart.
The facility, completed in Decem-
ber, was constructed by Haselden
Construction and opened shortly
thereafter.
The design team took advantage
of the surroundings by building a
large outdoor balcony for patients
and their families to have a scenic
place to relax, according to Boulder
Associates. The infusion bays and
family waiting areas are positioned
to have views of the ski mountains
and a fireplace warms the family
waiting area.
“We have created a warm, invit-
ing and healing environment for
patients facing potentially the big-
gest health obstacles of their lives,
and all in a gorgeous mountain
setting. Our intent is that healing
power derived from nature inter-
mixes with the treatment pro-
gram to produce happier, healthier
patients,” added Lenhart.
St. Joseph to redevelop Tammen
Hall into senior housing
St. Joseph Hospital recently
announced plans to redevelop
historic Tammen Hall, in partner-
ship with MGL Partners/Solvera
Advisors, The Neenan Co. and St.
Joseph’s parent organization, SCL
Health.
The building, located on the hos-
pital’s campus at 1010 E. 19th Ave.
in Denver, will become affordable,
independent senior housing.
The repurposed Tammen Hall is
scheduled for completion in early
2019. The 52,000-square-foot, eight-
story facility will feature 49 one-
and two-bedroom rental apart-
ments for income-qualified seniors
62 years of age and older. The
building is currently being listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places by the National Park Service.
St. Joseph Hospital recently sold
the building to MGL Partners/Sol-
vera Advisors as the project devel-
oper with The Neenan Co. serving
as the design-build partner.
“We are delighted to have identi-
fied a solution, as well as experi-
enced development partners, to
effectively reuse the space to meet
a glaring need in our community –
affordable living space for seniors
on fixed incomes,” said St. Joseph
Hospital President Jameson Smith.
Originally built in 1930 as a nurse
dormitory for Children’s Hospital,
Tammen Hall was named after
Harry Tammen, the first publisher
of The Denver Post. The building
was later converted to office space
for Children’s Hospital until the
hospital moved to the Fitzsimons
Campus in Aurora in October 2007.
Designated as a local historic land-
mark in 2008, the exterior and
internal renovations will comply
with National Park Service stan-
dards. Among the spaces to be pre-
served are a theater and a commu-
Built as a nurse dormitory, Tammen Hall will
be redeveloped into affordable, indepen-
dent senior housing.
The 8,900-square-foot center features infusion bays and family waiting areas with views of
the ski mountains.
