MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital’s Dally Tower is the first inpatient hospital facility in Washington state to receive the Green Building Certification Institute’s LEED Gold award.
The general contractor was Skanska USA. The architect was Good Sam Design Collaborative, which included Clark/Kjos Architects and GBJ Architecture.
The hospital recently received notification that the Dally Tower’s environmentally friendly construction met the standards for LEED Gold as set by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The tower opened to patients in February 2011, and doubled the size of Good Samaritan Hospital in Pallyup, Washington. The hospital tower included 78 private rooms and an expanded and updated emergency department.
LEED Gold status was awarded based on many green elements, including water and power saving features, two green roofs, rain gardens, and the construction methods and materials used throughout the project.
