To better serve children’s medical needs, Layton and Abbott were hired to build a dedicated hospital focusing solely on pediatric care. The facility will provide 82 private patient rooms with shelled space for future needs, ten operating rooms, a pediatric intensive care unit, and a hybrid interventional cardiology and radiology suite.
At face value, Abbott Construction’s design-build project for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) involved renovating its Northwest Regional Headquarters in Shoreline, WA to house over 600 WSDOT and Department of Ecology (WSDOE) employees. Although reorganizing and updating an occupied, six-story, 162,000sf building from the 1970s seemed like a hefty challenge, the project team still saw the project as an invigorating exercise in both creativity and excellence to save a grove of historic trees and improve the building’s efficiency while also uniting differing stakeholder needs.
