Completed in the second quarter of 2015, the Medical Pavilion project is the result of renovation and new construction on a site previously housing a facility known as the Seattle Life Sciences Building. The conversion included construction of an additional 6-story, 60,000 square foot building wing, expanded parking with 411 stalls, and new elevators providing direct access from garage to clinical spaces. The Medical Pavilion features a subterranean pedestrian tunnel that provides direct access to Swedish Medical Center. The renovation and expansion included a complete rehabilitation of common spaces, mechanical, fire protection and electrical systems and tenant suites, resulting in a truly unique opportunity to utilize an existing structure and deliver a class A facility.

Designed by CollinsWoerman architects and constructed by Lease Crutcher Lewis contractors, the First Hill Medical Pavilion is considered the "next generation" in healthcare construction, offering patients and staff an abundance of natural light while decreasing solar gain into occupied spaces through new glazing and aluminum framing systems at curtain walls. Other features include automated energy management systems to allocate power based upon tenant consumption; advanced lighting controls that adjust lighting levels based upon daylight; and LEED Gold core and shell standards to significantly reduce water consumption. The Medical Pavilion was designed for maximum efficiency of patient flow between the various service departments and to provide ergonomic spaces for physicians and staff to increase productivity.
