The topping out of Mayo Clinic’s new patient tower in Phoenix, Arizona was recently celebrated. The project team includes DPR Construction, HKS, LPR Erectors, Able Steel Fabricators and structural engineer PK Associates.
The six-story building is designed to boost capacity and meet patient demand in the Southwest. The 583,000-square-foot tower will add 99 inpatient beds, as well as clinical and support spaces. It is connected to the existing hospital tower by a cantilevered bridge at each floor along with an underground tunnel connecting the existing concourse to the new expansion.
The facility is part of a multi-year expansion to nearly double the size of the Mayo Clinic’s campus. The tower’s configuration is designed for future vertical expansion and can accommodate nine floors.
