Banner Thunderbird	Glendale	AZ	This project is a $198 million expansion of the Glendale campus, near Phoenix, Arizona. The project consists of a seven-story new bed tower south emergency department, and a three-story new lobby building north of the existing hospital main lobby. Areas of focus include pediatrics, high-risk obstetrics and neonatology, cardiology and cardiac surgery, vascular services, oncology, general surgery, neurosciences and neurosurgery. With the expansion, Banner Thunderbird will have 597 acute care beds and a new 64 bed emergency department. This additional capacity will allow Banner Thunderbird to pursue growth opportunities and become a tertiary (higher-level of care) level facility. Currently, Banner Thunderbird has 397 acute care beds, which includes a 24-bed Children’s Center and a 42-bed Behavioral Health Center. The expansion will allow the Children’s Center to grow to 52 beds, which includes a 12-bed PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit). Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers, Inc. is the Structural Engineer on the project. NTD Stichler of Phoenix is the Architect, and McCarthy Builders of Tempe, Arizona.
Tucson University Medical Center	Tucson	AZ	The University of Arizona’s Medical Center Expansion added a new 211,000 square-foot, six-story building directly north of the existing hospital. The Emergency Department will be on the first level of the bed tower, with inpatient beds on floors two and three. Floors four through six will be shell space for future expansion. The Emergency Department will contain a 16-bed clinical decision unit where emergency patients requiring observation will receive care. The existing heliport will be relocated temporarily to the parking lot west of the hospital at Warren & Adams while a new heliport is constructed on the roof of the new facility. This is a multi-year construction project with three main phases: Phase I completed February 2007. Phase II completed June 2007 and Phase III scheduled to finish early Fall 2009. Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers, Inc. is the structural engineer of record; the Innova Group of Tucson is the Project Manager; NTD Stichler of Tucson is the Architect; and Kitchell Contractors of Phoenix is providing construction management.
Desert Ridge Medical Office Building	Phoenix	AZ	As part of a master-planned campus, this Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers, Inc. project is a single-source solution to develop, design and construct this second phase medical office building. With an urgent care facility, radiology center, and a lab, as well as both large and small medical and dental practices, this multi-tenant building will provide a multitude of medical services to the growing community. The location of the facility required planners to build an extensive utility and transportation infrastructure prior to the actual construction of the building. The three-story facility is ideally located at the intersection of Highway 101 and Tatum Road to provide easy access from all parts of the metropolitan Phoenix area. The Desert Ridge Phase II medical office building is part of a 120,000 square foot medical campus in the heart of the new master-planned community of Desert Ridge.
101 Medical Office Building	Phoenix	AZ	The office building is due to be completed in September 2006. This four-story, 79,203 square foot office building is located in Glendale, Arizona. This elegant and distinctive building, with panoramic mountain views, is located near a wealth of amenities that contribute to the area’s magnetism. It is located across from Arrowhead Towne Center, a 1.3 million square feet regional shopping center, which includes five major department stores, a 14-screen AMC Cineplex, fine dining, and over 100 specialty retailers. Other amenities include Costco and the Peoria Sports Complex which is home to the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres for spring training. This building is located off of the 101 Freeway on North 79th Avenue.

Barbara and Bill Richardson Pavilion Children's Hospital: University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center	Albuquerque	NM	Chavez-Grieves provided structural design through construction administration for an addition to the existing hospital complex, the Children's Hospital and Critical Care Pavilion. This $100 million project consists of a six-story addition programmed at 395,425 gross square feet. It is located west of the existing hospital, on the site between the existing building and the primary parking structure. This site initiates a total replacement strategy for the future development of the hospital and reorients access to the medical campus. Four primary programs are included: the Children’s Hospital, Adult Critical Care, Birthing Center and Emergency Department. A heliport has been incorporated into the new facility. Appropriate infrastructure was designed to support modern technologies, clinical education and limited research functions. A small food service emporium is also included. The building was designed to be flexible, energy efficient and easy to maintain. The Pavilion includes connection to campus steam and chilled water plants through the University service tunnel, as well as connection to UNMH's physical plant for all other utilities. The work includes landscaping, hardscaping, grading, drainage and the removal of existing buildings. It also includes design of a new entry from Lomas Blvd. via Yale, to the hospital parking garage and demolition of the UNM "north" chiller plant. The Children's Hospital and Critical Care Pavilion are being constructed in phases so that safe access and the full range of services are maintained at all times.
Presbyterian Hospital East Expansion	Albuquerque	NM	Chavez-Grieves completed structural design on the $40 million, three-phase Albuquerque Presbyterian Hospital East Expansion in August 2001. Construction began in the Spring of 2002. The project scope provides construction documents for a 5th, 6th and 7th floor addition to be built on top of the existing east expansion, originally constructed in 1980, and designed by Chavez-Grieves. Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers, Inc. provided construction documents to support utility infrastructure upgrades to service the addition and documents describing the required seismic upgrades at the existing east expansion. The seismic upgrades are necessary because the seismic design loads required by the building code have significantly increased since 1980. The Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers, Inc. team provided intensive coordination and value engineering during the design and bidding process, as well as construction administration, including site observations, shop drawing review and contractor assistance. Chavez-Grieves proposed a structural system that has elevated floors with structural concrete over a composite metal deck supported by composite steel beams and composite steel girders. The roof includes a metal deck over steel joists and steel beams supported by steel girders, and the vertical support system will have steel columns. The lateral system includes steel braced frames. Presbyterian Hospital is the largest acute care hospital in New Mexico, and serves as a major tertiary medical center for the state. It operates in a mixed business and residential area at the geographic center of Albuquerque.

Eastern New Mexico Medical Center	Roswell	NM	Because Eastern New Mexico Medical Center in Roswell serves as a regional medical facility, it needed to expand and renovate to keep pace with a growing population base. The 15-acre site was relatively flat and therefore required minor regrading. Site improvements included an addition to a helipad, several hundred parking spaces and many trees and landscape elements. The 230,000 square foot structure included steel columns and beams, and concrete slab floors. The materials included brick, exposed steel, aluminum and glass curtain wall, and stucco. This project represents the culmination of two phases of work planned for the hospital. Phase one of the design included the addition of an outpatient-centered Cancer Treatment Center. Phase Two included a major expansion and renovation of the existing facility. Programming efforts early in the design process identified expansion of the Emergency Department, Laboratory, Pharmacy, OB/GYN, Admissions and some inpatient Nursing Units as priorities. Anchor Departments were also identified to remain and expand in place as part of the renovation. These areas included Radiology, Operating Suites, Central Sterile and Dietary. The final design incorporated a new Ambulatory Care Unit and a Patient Centered Pre-Admissions Department, which brings the Medical Center up with current outpatient care-based trends. The main entry is designed to guide patients, staff and visitors in to the Medical Center along a curved brick wall that meanders through the facility providing a sense of "wayfinding" from department to department. This "wayfinding" concept softens potentially rigid, institutional corridors and provides a recognizable datum through the entire facility.
