HealthEast Care System
Strategic Facility Planning
St. Paul, Minnesota

Woodwinds Health Campus, Woodbury, Minnesota BCS was engaged by Woodwinds Health Campus to develop a Master Facility Plan that prepares the organization for future growth. Components of the plan include service line projections, space and gap analysis, a conceptual budget, and evaluating departmental utilization rates, patient flow, and other functional adjacencies. BCS evaluated projected volumes, capacity and utilization issues, and growth opportunities to develop a phased Master Facility Plan toaccommodate Woodwinds HealthCampus’ short and long-term organizational strategies.
St. John’s Hospital, Maplewood, Minnesota BCS was engaged by St. John’s Hospital to develop a Master Facility Plan that outlines a plan for future development. Components of the plan include service line projections, space and gap analysis, a conceptual budget, and an evaluation of departmental utilization rates, patient flow, and other functional adjacencies. The addition and/or expansion of service lines is limited because St. John’s is at or near its inpatient bed capacity, while the campus’ future growth is impeded due to the campus’ current location. The Plan includes two options. Option one includes a single floor vertical expansion to address the hospital’s short-term inpatient needs. The second option is a phased combination of a vertical expansion and a new outpatient pavilion tower. This option addresses the campus’ growing inpatient space needs and strategically adds additional outpatient service lines without impeding upon other HealthEast Care System campuses.
St. Joseph’s Hospital, St. Paul, Minnesota A principal of BoldtConsulting Services, while with another company, developed a Master Facility Plan which will enhance St. Joseph’s image and redevelop the campus into a 21st century facility. Objectives of the plan included creating a significant Heart Program, expanding the ER and Imaging departments, improving the overall image with healing environments, converting semi-private rooms to private patient rooms, improving parking, and developing additional on-campus physician office space. The Master Facility Plan includes a new patient tower with a cardiac care unit with cath labs and operating rooms as well as new emergency and radiology departments (adjacent to each other). A new three-story atrium/main lobby is also incorporated into the plan within close proximity to a new parking ramp via a skywalk connector. A comprehensive budget and schedule for each of these areas was included as part of the plan.
