Catalyst is proud to have provided civil engineering and landscape architectural services for HCA’s recently completed Parkridge Medical Center Patient Tower Expansion in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The $99 million, three-story addition expands the hospital by 88,000 SF and adds 50 patient rooms, including 16 intensive care unit rooms and 34 medical-surgical orthopedic and spine rooms, along with a new main lobby and dedicated meeting and education spaces. Our team’s site design work supported the expansion of the existing medical campus, including the outdoor environment surrounding the new tower and courtyard connecting it to the existing hospital. The courtyard features a water element and stone pathway that create an inviting connection between the facilities and contribute to the patient and visitor experience. The project recently celebrated its grand opening, increasing Parkridge Medical Center’s capacity to serve the growing greater Chattanooga community.
