Challenge
Seattle Children’s sought to consolidate ambulatory services that were dispersed across multiple locations into a single, integrated facility. Achieving this goal required a carefully phased approach that included construction of temporary clinical space, demolition of existing hospital wings, and extensive renovation work. Maintaining uninterrupted patient care and hospital operations throughout the multi-year effort added significant complexity. The project also required close coordination among clinical users, hospital leadership, and construction teams to minimize disruption.
Solution
We led development management for the planning, design, construction, and move activities associated with the new ambulatory care building and renovation program. Our team coordinated the creation of approximately 30,000 SF of temporary space that enabled clinical services to remain operational while existing facilities were demolished and rebuilt. Through multiple phases of construction, we maintained alignment across stakeholders while carefully managing budget, schedule, and operational impacts. Ongoing coordination helped ensure continuity of care throughout the project lifecycle.
Outcome & Impact
The project delivered a new 170,000 SF ambulatory care facility alongside approximately 90,000 SF of renovated space, creating a more integrated and efficient outpatient care environment. Consolidation of services improved accessibility for patients and families while supporting greater operational coordination among care teams. The phased delivery approach enabled Seattle Children’s to maintain continuous operations throughout construction. Seattle Children’s gained a modern ambulatory care hub that strengthened outpatient services and helped lay the foundation for future campus growth.
