Challenge
Bowman, Barrett & Associates Inc. (BB&A) was hired by the
architect to provide structural engineering services for numerous
facilities at the subject location. Creative design solutions were
developed to seamlessly integrate expansion of the medical center
with existing facilities.
Parking Garage
BB&A designed foundations for the
four-story precast concrete parking garage. The
garage provides medical staff and visitors
with ample parking space in a residential neighborhood. A pedestrian
bridge connects the parking garage and the nine-story office
building with the main hospital.
Completion Date: 1994
Construction Cost: $4.5 Million
PACU Addition
With limited space to expand, a new surgery ward was designed
over the existing entrance ramps. A new glass enclosure was
constructed
to provide visitors with covered access to a five-story parking
garage.
Completion Date: 1996
Construction Cost: $900,000
Education and Information Center
BB&A designed the four-story structural steel building and
one-story addition over the existing three-story building. The
addition provides space for administrative offices and training
rooms.

Nelson Street Bridge and Tower
The pedestrian bridge connects the Education and Information
