Aurora, Colo.
Children’s Hospital in Denver will relocate to the Fitzsimons campus in Aurora in 2007. Sited on 41 acres at the University of Colorado’s Health Sciences Center biomedical campus, the new 1.1 million-sf, 270-bed hospital will cost $462.8 million. The facility will be one of the most technologically advanced pediatric hospitals in the country. The move to the Fitzsimons campus, which will include the research and education buildings, will reach a total of $1.3 billion. Parking will be added at the new campus, bringing the spaces from 1,700 up to 2,450. Site work on the project began in March. Assuming a 40 hour work week, Children’s will spend $82,000 an hour on the new campus.
