JE Dunn completed the 577,000 square foot, 14-story, new patient tower for the University of Kansas Hospital, which is located on their main campus. The project included 11 operating rooms, three levels of patient beds, kitchen, administration, plant operations, loading dock, tunnel, services from existing central utility plant, emergency generators, PACU, radiology, penthouse, fourth floor mechanical room and a two-level connecting bridge.
The new tower allows the University of Kansas Hospital to expand their healthcare services throughout the region and is home to highly specialized surgical services for oncology, neurosciences, and otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat).
