Service Dock Expansion

Planning

Design

Construction Administration

This expansion project is located at the lower level of the hospital and adjacent to the main dock at the Anschutz Campus of UCHealth in Aurora, CO. It contains soiled material movement functions including soiled linen and trash holding, trash compactors, and two truck bays for soiled materials removal.  Above the new dock space, and accessed from level 1, is a mechanical space and a new air handling unit (AHU) to serve a future planned expansion to the hospital.  The receiving area supports a smaller, existing dock on the first level which had housed both incoming and outbound materials.  The addition also includes some upgrades to the first level dock, including screen walls and enhanced landscaping to shield this utilitarian function from bustling pedestrian activity on the adjacent street. 

Completed early in 2023, this dock expansion and upgrade helps the client to streamline materials management for the hospital by segregating clean supply chain reception and movement from soiled outbound product dispensation.
