Grand Junction, Colo. A major expansion and renovation of St.
Mary's Hospital is anchored by a new 12-story, 200,000-square-foot
tower. The tower adjoins and expands an existing two-level
emergency and surgical building and significantly adds 256 current
and planned patient rooms. To complement the existing hospital and
avoid competing with surrounding mesas and cliffs, architects chose
a simple rectangular silhouette for the tower.
The design utilizes brick and glass for the base of the tower to
echo the scale and exterior of the existing hospital. As the tower
clears the height of the original building, the cladding
transitions to Citadel panels and glass for a more weightless,
contemporary look. The uppermost area of the tower is clad with
11,000 square feet of Citadel Envelope 2000 Rout & Return (RR)
System metal composite material panels in Silver Metallic from
Citadel Architectural Products.
Architect: Perkins + Will, Minneapolis
Fabricator/installer: Douglass Colony Group,
