MCR is entering its final six months of construction in Loveland, CO, marking a key milestone in SLAM’s three-phase master plan launched in 2004. As UCHealth’s Northern Colorado flagship, the $280M Phase 2 expansion adds an inpatient tower, expanded ED, imaging, cardiac services, and a full cancer center.
Care and craftsmanship are evident as the tower rises—from crisp masonry to seamless material transitions. The architectural centerpiece—East ED, North glass wedge, and West entry—embodies an elegance that guides and welcomes. With the crown and canopies taking shape, SLAM moves closer to unveiling the sunken garden, a refined arrival point anchoring this end of campus.
Driven by SLAM’s One Firm culture, our national team united top talent from across the country to deliver this vision. Kudos to the team as interiors come to life and the project integrates into its surroundings.
SLAM is proud to partner with the State of Massachusetts, Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), the Department of Public Health (DPH), the Department of Mental Health (DMH), and the Department of Corrections (DOC) on the $275M transformation of the former Newton Pavilion into the new Shattuck Hospital – a modern, integrated medical facility in the heart of downtown.
This complex renovation of a 1970s-80s-era structure focuses on enhancing the urban environment, patient experience, and security, while meeting the needs of public health, mental health, and correctional care—all under one roof.
Key features include: a welcoming, park-like arrival; human-centered urban design; secure, light-filled patient spaces; efficient, integrated care models; increased federal funding opportunities.
More than just a renovation, this project redefines how public healthcare facilities serve our communities.
At 503,000 SF and 11 stories, the Baylor College of Medicine Lillie and Roy Cullen Tower will be one of the largest and most advanced medical education buildings in the country—uniting education, research, and clinical care under one roof. A facility designed to foster collaboration and innovation, the tower features cutting-edge research labs, immersive simulation and skills training environments, a vibrant, community-centered courtyard, and a seamless integration of education and healthcare practice.
A new campus that marks a bold step forward in shaping the future of medical discovery and training, the Lillie and Roy Cullen Tower Health Sciences Tower is scheduled to open in 2026.
With the consolidation of Torrington’s high and middle schools being long overdue, the community remained enthusiastic and fully engaged, bringing bold aspirations to the table. On the heels of COVID, SLAM worked closely with the town and state to deliver a flexible, future-ready facility inspired by local industry, arts, and landscape. The design features a central courtyard for learning and events, daylight-filled spaces, and a layout that clearly separates active and quiet zones. Public areas like the gym and auditorium are easily accessible while maintaining student privacy. The architecture moves beyond traditional school models, embracing dynamic forms that reflect the evolving nature of education.
Exciting progress is underway at Penn State, where SLAM is building one of its most versatile and innovative classrooms yet. Designed to accommodate up to 200 students, the space supports active learning and traditional instruction, with the flexibility to divide into two 100-seat environments. At the front of the room, dual healthcare patient headwalls equipped with video and audio recording capabilities will enhance in-room demonstrations and bedside simulation training. A dedicated simulation room at the back further supports immersive, hands-on learning. Flat-panel displays around the perimeter enable small group collaboration, while adjacent pre-function space offers students areas to study and connect. Once complete, this forward-thinking facility will not only support enrollment growth but also provide a true “home” for nursing education at Penn State.
