Topping Out ceremony held for Centura St. Francis Hospital – Interquest

On Monday, April 4, Centura Health hosted a topping out ceremony for the St. Francis Hospital – Interquest. The ceremony featured remarks from Brian Erling, MD, MBA, president and CEO of Penrose-St. Francis Health Services, and Peter D. Banko, president & CEO of Centura, as well as a blessing lead by Rev. Dr. Timothy Corbley, I. V. Dei, director of mission and ministry for Penrose-St. Francis Health Services.

GE Johnson is the general contractor for the 140,000-square-foot orthopedic hospital. St. Francis Hospital – Interquest is a greenfield hospital, situated on 58 acres of land in northern Colorado Springs at the intersection of Interquest Parkway and I-25. The hospital is being constructed as a tilt up structure and currently has the tallest tilt up panel in Colorado and third tallest panel in the United States. Designed by HuntonBrady Architects, the building is shaped as a half-moon radius which required prefabrication efforts.

The facility will house 72 beds to include 10 intensive care unit (ICU) beds, 10 specialty-sized operating rooms, a 14-bed emergency department, imaging with computed tomography, and ultrasound. The hospital’s lobby will feature a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a chapel. The hospital is Centura’s third St. Francis campus in Colorado Springs and is planned for completion in spring 2023.
