St. Mary’s Hospital & Regional Medical Center
Citadel Panels Selected To Clad Curved Surfaces On Hospital Expansion
They call it The Century Project. It didn’t take 100 years to complete but the expansion and renovation of the St. Mary’s Hospital & Regional Medical Center in Grand Junction, CO, has nonetheless been many years in the making. It began with the construction of a new 12-story, 44,000 sq. ft. patient tower, completed in 2009, and culminated with the renovation and reconfiguration of 76,000 sq. ft. of existing hospital space. Helping to give those old sections a modern look were aluminum composite panel systems from Citadel Architectural Products.
More than 11,000 square feet of Citadel Envelope 2000® Rout & Return (RR) System metal composite material (MCM) panels was utilized on curved surfaces including entrance canopies and interior and exterior column covers. The panels have a premium Silver Metallic paint finish.
Design services for the project were provided by Perkins + Will, Minneapolis. The design team sought to complement the existing hospital—as well as the stunning mesas in the surrounding landscape—while establishing an advanced, forward-looking image.
According to Rick Hintz, Perkins + Will principal and market sector leader, the Citadel composite wall panels provided exceptional flatness, light weight, excellent strength-to-weight ratio and excellent formability for the radius applications. The fabrication and installation of the Citadel panels was done by Douglass Colony Group, Commerce City, CO.
