This month, Pinkard Construction begins tenant improvements on two Banner Health campuses in Northern Colorado.
Mountain Vista Medical Center (MVMC) and Northern Colorado Family Medicine (NCFM), both in Greeley, will receive cosmetic upgrades beginning in late August and running through the end of November. Both projects will be occupied and constructed concurrently, with a total budget of $626,876.
The MVMC building’s scope of work will span the urology department, the rehabilitation department, the gastrointestinal wing, and the orthopedic department, and feature new finishes and details such as redesigned reception areas and other cosmetic upgrades including paint, flooring, and casework repairs. The NCFM building’s updates will include a new reception desk area, upgrades to nurse station countertops and offices, and new paint throughout.
“At the heart of it, we’re upgrading their current workspaces to make their office staff and clientele more comfortable,” says Pinkard Assistant Project Manager Krystyl Alexander. “The changes might seem small, but they make a big difference for people who are working or being treated in the building.”
The job’s biggest challenge will be completing all renovations while the medical center remains fully and continuously occupied. With an intricate phasing plan and schedule that will allow for work in both buildings simultaneously, Pinkard will rely heavily on its close partnerships with subcontractors and constant communication with the department heads in each building to complete the project smoothly.
“We really had to get creative with an in-depth phasing plan to be sure that we are only working in a given area when the department allows us to,” Alexander 20Bet online live casinoexplains. “It’s kind of a logistical maze, where we’re going in when there aren't patients in those spaces and sprucing them up overnight before people come back in. It’s been a fun challenge scheduling-wise to get that right."
Back in 2022 Pinkard completed a similar refurbishment of Banner Health’s North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC), in addition to building over 55 healthcare projects across Colorado's Front Range.
“We are proud to work with an outstanding partner like Banner Health,” says Alexander. “Each 20bet casino appproject allows us to deepen our understanding of Banner’s needs and the challenges of working in occupied medical environments, and it feels good knowing we are helping essential workers do their job more efficiently in spaces that aid in their productivity.”
