The original building was designed by Davis Partnership Architects around 2001 which was a 47,000 square foot building for the University of Colorado Hospital. This addition adds another 85,000 square feet with another 10,000 square feet of remodeled space. The expansion is mainly to the south which generates a new building entry and adds two floors to the facility. The first level includes an auditorium, staff and administration space, the second floor adds a new surgery department and cornea exam lanes, the third floor adds office space, the fourth floor adds space for retina and glaucoma examinations, and the upper floor is expansion space. The exterior design blends into the campus brick building adjacent context with a new south façade incorporating a glass and stone entry feature with a first level colonnade.
