We’re excited to showcase Catamount’s
recently completed Hybrid Operating
Room (OR) at HealthONE’s
Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center,
the largest Hybrid OR Suite in Denver.
Equipped with the latest technology to
handle both adult and pediatric patients,
the Hybrid OR enables surgeons to
couple imaging modalities, including
CTs, X-Rays and 3D roadmapping,
with traditional surgical capabilities in
order to reduce the number of imaging
procedures required and overall
radiation exposure.
Our healthcare team has extensive
expertise with the complex requirements
of healthcare construction, including
installation of sophisticated equipment
and detailed knowledge of health codes,
safety and ADA compliance.
Whether your project is a medical office
or an advanced surgical suite, we can
support your core care functions and
goals with the precision and focus to
ensure project success and efficient
care for your patients.

and build a sense of worth and value,
rather than be a constant reminder
of his disability.
Planned with assistive devices and
technologies to help develop his
minor motor skills, the tablet-based
system allowed him to control the
doors, shades, lights, TV and thermo-
stat from his iPad. A queen-size “hos-
pital” bed could not look like one, nor
could the bath emphasize his disabil-
ity, while still being Americans with
Disabilities Act compliant. Grab bars
looked like towel bars, and a bath
and studio were designed to accom-
modate each phase of recovery –
wheelchair to walker to walking.
A therapy massage showering sys-
tem was required to activate nerve
endings. Mood lines were used to
create visual stability, such as the
vertical paneling and strong flat lines
in the bath, an area most vulnerable
to falling. Sensory elements were
incorporated through aromatic cedar
from reclaimed barn wood. A sliding
barn door was precisely weighted
for use in occupational therapy and
a “handicap ramp” that did not look
like one was installed.
But most needed were privacy and
ownership: An environment that
offered ownership of space allow-
ing the veteran control of his life. A
place where he could entertain and
find solitude away from others when
needed. A virtual cabin in the woods.
Designing for Veterans has received
several awards from ASID and Inter-
national Interior Design Association
and has been published in numer-
ous publications, including Contract
magazine and ASID ICON, and fea-
tured on the local CBS television sta-
tions in Illinois.
