The new 147,695-sf Saltzer Health Ten Mile Medical Campus has completed in Meridian, Idaho.
The four-story project will provide an array of specialty clinics in an easily accessible and welcoming medical campus. The facility will include a five-room outpatient surgery center, physical therapy, gastroenterology, endoscopy, urgent care, family medicine, and a five-modality medical imaging center.
The design of the project is wholly patient centered, focusing on ease of access to services, efficient space layout, and modern interior design. The project fills the need for high-quality, state-of-the-art health care in the fast-growing areas of Meridian and Nampa.
The project team also included Oakland Construction (contractor), Horrocks Engineers (civil engineer), BVA Development (developer), SE-Charlton Consulting (structural engineers), PVE Inc. (mechanical and electrical engineer), Bear Design Group (landscape architect), and KovichCo (interior designer).
