Healthcare
Healthcare design is deeply embedded in BCER’s history. We played a key role in the significant expansion project of the UCHealth Anschutz Inpatient Pavilion, establishing ourselves as a leading healthcare consulting firm. At BCER, our designs prioritize the safety and comfort of both patients and healthcare workers. We approach these facilities with the same care we would if our own families were seeking treatment there.
Featured Healthcare Projects
St. Francis-Interquest Orthopedic Hospital
BCER provided engineering consulting services for the new St. Francis–Interquest Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a major development establishing a new healthcare campus on a 57.9-acre site in the Interquest area. The Phase 1 development focused on approximately 20 acres and includes a four-story, 185,999-square-foot orthopedic hospital with 72 patient beds, along with a basement service area and staff lobby. The site design also accommodates future expansion, including a designated pad for an adjacent three-story Medical Office Building (MOB) and Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). The campus was carefully planned to support both patient care and long-term growth. Site improvements include 715 surface parking spaces, with 121 spaces located beneath a naturally ventilated parking structure that supports an elevated pedestrian plaza and rehabilitation field above. A ground-level helistop positioned near the emergency department entrance provides rapid access for emergency patient transport. Inside the hospital, the facility supports a wide range of specialized medical functions, including a fully equipped emergency department with ambulance access, diagnostic imaging, clinical laboratory services, pharmacy, central sterile processing, and dietary services. The hospital also features ten operating rooms, an inpatient rehabilitation gym, administrative offices and conference rooms, and an on-call suite for medical staff. Infrastructure for a future 24-bed inpatient unit was also incorporated as part of the core and shell design to support future expansion. BCER’s engineering expertise helped create a facility designed to deliver high-quality orthopedic and emergency care while providing flexibility for the continued growth of healthcare services in the Colorado Springs region.

Aspen Valley Hospital
The Aspen Valley Hospital Expansion Master Plan was developed to transform Aspen Valley Hospital into a progressive, outpatient-focused medical center that better serves the growing needs of the community. The $100 million plan outlines four major phases to remodel and expand the existing 70,000-square-foot, single-story community hospital into a modern, three-story, 200,000-square-foot medical campus. Phases 3 and 4 represent a significant portion of the work, adding approximately 55,000 square feet of new space and renovating an additional 22,000 square feet, for a total of more than $55 million. BCER provided Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection engineering services for Phase 3, supporting the design of a high-performance facility while helping the project achieve ambitious sustainability goals. A key objective is LEED Silver certification, along with compliance with the City of Aspen’s Canary Initiative, which promotes net-zero carbon construction for all new buildings. The expansion includes several major clinical and patient-focused spaces, such as a 15,000-square-foot surgery department, 7,000 square feet of outpatient clinics, The Aspen Birthplace, a new patient care unit, cardiac rehabilitation and cardiopulmonary suites, and an orthopedic sports medicine center of excellence. The master plan also accommodates up to 30,000 square feet of medical office space, ensuring the campus can continue to grow and meet evolving healthcare needs. Through thoughtful engineering and sustainable design strategies, BCER helped Aspen Valley Hospital realize its vision of a forward-thinking medical campus that prioritizes patient experience, environmental responsibility, and long-term community care.

Children’s Hospital Colorado – South Campus
The Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus facility in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, expands access to specialized pediatric care for families across the southern Denver metro area. Located at the intersection of Plaza Drive and Lucent Boulevard just south of C-470, the approximately 180,000-square-foot medical campus was designed to provide comprehensive pediatric services in a single, patient-focused environment. Delivered through a collaborative design-assist process between the owner, design team, and contractor, the project followed an accelerated schedule to bring critical healthcare services to the community in just 21 months from design through completion. The full-service facility offers a broad spectrum of pediatric care, including 24/7 urgent care, inpatient services, outpatient specialty clinics, pediatric surgery, and advanced diagnostic and imaging capabilities. Imaging and diagnostic services include MRI, CT, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, ECHO, EKG, EEG, audiology, and sleep studies, supporting a wide range of pediatric specialties. The campus was carefully designed to support both clinical excellence and patient comfort, with specialized spaces including operating rooms, an infusion center, a sports medicine and therapy program with a rehabilitation gym, pharmacy, and laboratory services, and advanced imaging suites. The facility also houses numerous pediatric specialty programs such as oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, pulmonology, endocrinology, and genetics. Through close collaboration with the project team, BCER helped deliver a modern pediatric healthcare facility that provides comprehensive, accessible care while supporting the continued growth of pediatric services in the region.
