North Suburban Medical Center Heliport
Howell Construction, in collaboration with Path21 Architecture & Planning, is proud to announce the successful completion of the North Suburban Medical Center’s (NSMC) state-of-the-art heliport facility in Thornton, Colorado.
The 5,000 square-foot project includes a 3,000 square-foot hangar and a 2,000 square-foot staff facility for AirLife Denver. The hangar space is designed to offer a column-free structure, providing an open and efficient area for helicopter maintenance and fueling. The adjoining staff facility includes essential amenities, a restroom, laundry area, lounge, and ample storage and equipment space, ensuring a comfortable and functional environment for personnel.
A key challenge in this project was its proximity to the active NSMC campus, and existing helipad, which required strict safety protocols to protect hospital staff, patients, and visitors. The construction team worked closely with hospital personnel to ensure smooth coordination of helicopter traffic, minimizing disruptions to the surrounding medical operations. Extensive safety measures were implemented, and careful planning of helicopter takeoffs and landing ensured that construction activities proceeded without interference.
“We are excited to have partnered with Path 21 Architecture & Planning on this important project,” said Todd Berry, Vice President of Howell Construction. “The heliport facility is not only a crucial addition to the North Suburban Medical Center, but also a testament to our team’s ability to execute complex projects with safety and efficiency in mind.”
