Located on a 10-acre site that maximizes ease of access, this new orthopedic and sports medicine campus serves as a sports performance and athletic enhancement center that encourages and restores physical achievement. From improving patients’ abilities to enjoy everyday activities to training elite athletes, the facility, which includes licensed inpatient beds, surgery and associated support areas, is developed as a center for excellence in advanced orthopedics and sports medicine.
A welcoming two-story lobby filled with natural light provides registration areas, lounge and retail spaces and a bistro with an adjacent outdoor dining area. The result of a Lean-led design effort, the modern building houses a state-of-the-art orthopedic surgery suite, designed to encourage efficiency in patient circulation and staff and physician work flow, and an integrated physician specialty clinic. In addition to inpatient beds and additional support services, the first floor also includes a physical therapy suite and performance gym focused on athlete training and employee wellness. The second floor contains a pain clinic, wound care, weight management, a specialty clinic and administration services. Additional amenities include an outdoor fitness and agility training area and walking track, as well as a sports retail center.
Complementing the architecture of Monument Health’s main hospital expansion, the exterior blends local vernacular style with more modern elements. Vertical and horizontal components represent natural elements found in the region, like the Black Hills, Badlands and prairies. Core materials such as glass, stone, masonry and metal, as well as outdoor gardens for dining, contemplation and respite, reinforce connection to nature. The building is designed for easy horizontal expansion of surgery, inpatient beds and pre- and post-procedure areas.
