University Medical Center ED and Patient Tower

Tucson, AZ

As a leading tertiary-care referral center for the southwestern United States, University Medical Center (UMC) was looking to expand their existing facilities. Kitchell had previously completed a successful five-year remodel and expansion at the campus, and UMC again turned to Kitchell’s experience and commitment as a construction-manager at risk for its new expansion.

The planned expansion includes a number of updates to the existing space as well as over 223,500 square-feet of new space.

Improvements include:
• a 215,000 square-foot, six-story bed tower vertical addition
• two adult ICU units for 40 new beds
• two medical/surgery units with 48 new beds

The plan includes six new floors; three will be built out immediately, and three will be shell-space for future development of southern Arizona's first Children's Hospital (Diamond Children's Medical Center).
