AWARD OF CITATION Hummel Architects ST. LUKE’S DOWNTOWN CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN PHASE 1 Hummel worked with long-time client St. Luke’s Health System on Phase One of their Downtown Campus Improvement Plan. This phase included relocation and expansion of the campus central plant building, a brand new shipping and receiving building, and the addition of a new eight-story parking garage. St. Luke’s Health System’s new Central Plant services all of the downtown St. Luke’s campus, including a future Medical Office Building and North Bed Tower. Functional and support spaces include offices, shops, numerous mechanical and electrical rooms, emergency power electrical rooms, boiler and chiller rooms, fire riser rooms, mail service, bed storage, lockers and restrooms, along with one freight and three passenger elevators. To maintain a cohesive campus, the Central Plant building is connected to the Shipping/Receiving and Hospital Buildings through a service tunnel that crosses under Jefferson Street. This system of underground tunnels allows essential building utilities and logistics to travel to and from the hospital, preventing clutter on public sidewalks. The Shipping and Receiving building is a three-story structure with two stories above grade and one story below grade. The new facility combined architectural and equipment upgrades that will substantially improve operational efficiency. This building houses Boise’s new shipping and receiving docks, mail room, environmental services team, building services team and additional parking. The new parking garage contains two tiers below grade and six tiers above grade, with a parking capacity of approximately 1,130 stalls. The garage is accessible for vehicles from both First and Second Streets, increasing parking availability for St. Luke’s staff and patients. The design approach to these projects focused on their identity as the “heart” of St. Luke’s campus. This influenced the brick design and large windows that showcase impressive mechanical systems that keep St. Luke’s running. Hummel worked with a local brick manufacturer to produce custom bricks in the St. Luke’s blend to create the undulating brick pattern on the facades. The Central Plant provides heating and cooling for the entire St. Luke’s Campus, and Shipping and Receiving houses, receives, and distributes goods for the whole campus. The new parking garage is a huge asset to St. Luke’s patients, providing convenient parking right next to the hospital and expanding access for future phases. b DESIGN TEAM Scott Straubhar — Partner Brian Coleman — Project Manager Brent Davies — Project Manager Andrew Lauda — Project Manager Brandon Taylor — Project Manager Issac Prado — Project Coordinator Jennifer Duke-Turner — Interior Designer Molly Pittman — Interior Designer Rob Beusan — Lead Designer Renee Quintero-Loustaunau — Architectural Staff Megan Bedke — Architectural Staff Brian Riopelle — Architectural Staff Lindsey Egbert — Architectural Staff Josh Hoffer — Architectural Staff Yi Chang Liao — Architectural Staff Luke Ivers — Architectural Staff Andrew Lauda — Architectural Staff Dean Schultz — Architectural Staff Tri Ly — Architectural Staff Brandon Taylor — Architectural Staff Tab Carman — Architectural Staff Sofia Cardoso del Castillo — Architectural Staff COLLABORATORS Layton — Construction Contractor Jacobs — Structural Engineering Cator Ruma — M/E/P Mullin Acoustics — Acoustics The Land Group — Civil Engineering South Beck & Baird — Landscape Architecture Lot size: 2.37 acres Project size: 505,845 sq. ft.
