New buildings are taking shape at a $429 million replacement project at Utah Valley Hospital, formerly Utah Valley Hospital, in Provo. The existing buildings are nearing the end of their use and will be replaced by two large structures, a new inpatient tower called the Pedersen Tower and an outpatient building called the Sorenson Tower. Once completed, patients will receive treatment in what hospital officials described as one of the most technologically advanced and modern hospitals in the country. Groundbreaking for the hospital replacement project took place on June 17, 2015, kicking off construction of the two major replacement buildings. “The Sorenson Tower will be completed in February 2018, with the Pedersen Tower being completed in November,” said John Rohatinsky, Replacement Project lead for Utah Valley Hospital. The project is funded through bonds (50 percent), patient revenue (40 percent) and philanthropy (10 percent). Contractor Is Major Utah Company General contractor for the replacement project is Jacobsen Construction of Salt Lake City, a fast-growing builder and contractor. Through a bid process, Jacobsen was awarded the highly-complex expansion of Utah Valley Hospital, which, when completed, will transform the largest hospital in Utah

County into an updated, world-class facility that can provide quality care to the evergrowing area. Utah Valley Hospital’s existing sevenstory inpatient center will be replaced with a 12-story, 590,000 sq.-ft. tower, which will aggregate various departments currently scattered throughout the campus. HDR Inc. of Omaha, Neb., is the architecture firm for the replacement project at Utah Valley Hospital. Major subcontractors for the project
include Sunroc of St. George, Utah; Taylor Electric Inc. of Salt Lake City; J & S Mechanical of Draper, Utah; SDI (Standard Drywall) of San Diego; Cache Valley Electric of Logan, Utah; and Pacific Cabinets of Salt Lake City. New parking lots have already been constructed. Once the Sorensen Tower opens and becomes occupied another building will be demolished to make way for more surface parking. Heavy equipment on site includes bull-
dozers, backhoes, graders, delivery trucks, dump trucks and cement trucks. Cranes were in place for more than a year and were recently removed as workers completed tower exterior work. The project has required heavy use of construction materials. The Pedersen Tower foundation is 48 in. thick and required 4,530 cu. yds. of concrete to complete. The concrete for the foundation was delivered in one day by concrete trucks. see HOSPITAL page 10
