Contact

ERA provided structural engineering services for the Avera Specialty Hospital, a significant addition to the Sioux Falls healthcare landscape.

Completed in January 2020, valued at $174 million, this state-of-the-art facility is part of an expansive 82-acre campus development. The project encompasses a 260,000 sf, five-story complex that seamlessly integrates multiple healthcare functions. At its core is a 24-bed surgical hospital, designed to meet the highest standards of modern medical care. This hospital wing features large, technologically advanced surgical suites, equipped to handle complex procedures with precision and efficiency. Connected to the surgical hospital via a multi-story public commons is a comprehensive medical office building. This design promotes a fluid continuum of care, allowing for easy patient and staff movement between different medical services. The facility houses essential medical support functions including physical therapy, laboratory services, advanced imaging capabilities, a pharmacy, and biomedical equipment facilities. ERA’s structural design expertise was crucial in creating a building that not only meets the rigorous demands of a modern healthcare environment but also provides a welcoming and efficient space for patients, medical staff, and visitors. The project’s success lies in its ability to combine cutting-edge medical technology with a patient-centered design, all supported by a robust and flexible structural framework. This development represents a significant enhancement to Sioux Falls’ healthcare infrastructure, positioning Avera Specialty Hospital as a leading provider of specialized medical services in the region.
