Yuma District Hospital

This new 12-bed, 68,500-sf critical access hospital replaced the City’s existing hospital. Located on a 14-acre site, the new Yuma District Hospital significantly expands the quality and capacity of vital community healthcare services. The new facility includes a surgery wing, two operating rooms, endocrinology area, LDRP area, radiology department, cardiac/trauma area, physical therapy pool area, labs and clinic space. The project was a USDA Rural Development Financed project. AP was brought on-board mid-design and was immediately challenged to maintain the strength and integrity of the architect’s compelling aesthetic vision within the client’s budget. AP applied a contentious preconstruction process to carefully scrutinize design choices, building materials and finishes and proposed effective alternatives, which reduced costs without mitigating quality, functionality or the owner and architect’s aesthetic vision.
