HITCHING POST 2.0
PLANNING FOR FUTURE NEED
The strategic planning process has confirmed the urgent need for staff housing, with a goal of adding 132 employee housing units by 2028, including 72 units at 460 E Broadway, affectionately known as the Hitching Post. Recent events, such as the collapse of Teton Pass, have underscored the need for proximate and stable housing for St. Jonh’s Health employees. The forthcoming Hitching Post employee apartments will provide essential living accommodations that will enhance employee stability and support the recruitment of key clinical staff.
In April 2024, St. John’s Health contracted Blue Line Developers to initiate the request for proposals (RFP) for project architecture and general contracting. The architect RFP has been completed, with Shopworks selected as the primary firm and Shaw Construction designated as the general contractor. Schematic designs and cost estimates are expected to be finalized by the end of 2024.
TRAUMA INFORMED DESIGN WITH SHOPWORKS ARCHITECTURE
Our trauma-informed design approach ensures that our spaces genuinely support the needs of our staff, who face challenging and often traumatic experiences daily. By incorporating elements like natural light, soundproofing, and adaptable layouts, we aim to create environments where they can decompress and feel truly safe. With Shopworks expertise, we’re dedicated to designing spaces that not only offer comfort but also foster wellbeing, so our staff can return home to a place that meets their needs for rest and resilience.
