I. Introduction

Swedish Medical Center Cherry HillCampus (Swedish) intends to prepare anew major institution master plan (MIMP)for its Cherry Hill campus, consistent with

all applicable City of Seattle requirements.

A Notice of Intent was submitted to theCity Department of Planning and Develop-ment (DPD) on November 21, 2011.Swedish has worked with the Departmentof Neighborhoods (DON) to assist with theformation of a new Citizens Advisory Com-mittee (CAC). It has been approved by theSeattle City Council and convened.

The Concept Plan is intended to be sub-mitted to DPD on/ or around the rst of

February 2013.

Swedishs prior master plan for the CherryHill Campus was adopted by Ordinance117238 on August 2, 1994 allowing devel-opment of up to 564,000 square feet ofnet new construction over a fteen year

period, expiring in 2009.

Development rights for 238,032 squarefeet remained at the expiration of thisMIMP.

Three minor amendments were made tothe 1994 MIMP:- to modify a setback for a parkinggarage (2006);- to increase the height and bulk toaccommodate the NW KidneyCenter (2007)- to extend the expiration date of theMIMP for two years until August,2011 (2008).

The MIMP is created to guide develop-ment for long time horizons: fteen

twenty-ve years and more. This Concept

Plan includes descriptions of proposedand possible development strategies,and denes the envelope within which

the institution may seek to develop futureprojects.

The concepts will be further rened during

the upcoming planning process. Swedishlooks forward to working together with theCity and the community to efciently com-plete the new master plan that will supportthe organizations Strategic Plan.

Swedish Medical Center Mission

For more than a century, Swedish hasbeen at the forefront of technology and in-novation, providing world-class healthcareto those who live and work in Seattle andthe surrounding Puget Sound region.

Swedish was founded in 1910 by Dr. NilsJohanson, a surgeon and Swedish immi-grant who brought together doctors andnurses who shared his passion for beingon the leading edge of medical practiceand patient care. Dr. Johansons legacyof constant innovation and compassion-ate care continues today. Swedish is

recognized nationally for the safety andquality of the care it delivers to more than100,000 patients each year.

True to the intent of its founder, Swed-ish has been dedicated to being the bestcommunity partner possible. It does thisby providing a wide range of communitybenets, strategies and solutions that

meet peoples healthcare needs. Thatmeans covering the cost of medical carefor those who cant pay, offering freehealth screenings, assisting patients withtheir rent in times of healthcare crisis, andsupporting research projects that help tocreate valuable medical advances, bothhere at home and across the world. In2012, Swedishs community benets and

uncompensated care, totaled more than$140 million.

Today, Swedish continues as a non-prot

healthcare System, and is now comprisedof ve hospitals, two ambulatory care cen-ters, and over 108 medical clinics serv-ing patients and communities across the

Western Washington region.

The Cherry Hill campus was formerly theagship hospital of the Sisters of Provi-dence, with several of the buildings datingback to 1910. In the year 2000, Swedishacquired the campus and changed its pur-pose from a general community medicalcenter to a specialized regional medical

center focused on cardiovascular andneuroscience services. Now the home ofthe Swedish Heart and Vascular Instituteand the Swedish Neurosciences Institute,these programs have grown into regionaland national referral centers for patientsseeking care for treatment of some of themost complex heart, vascular and neuro-logical diseases. In 2002, Swedish sold

40% of the campus, including most of thebuildings that provide outpatient servicesand house our physician ofces to the

Sabey Corporation. Since then, the Sabeyand Swedish partnership has investedover $100 million in capital improvementsto build a world-class center for theresearch and treatment of cardiac andneurological diseases at Cherry Hill.

James Tower, one of the original buildingson the campus. This building was renovat-ed in 2003 to become a state-of-the-artmedical ofce building and now houses

physician ofces, education, and research

facilities.

The West Tower, built in 1964 for inpa-tients now houses outpatient hospital-related services including physical andoccupational therapy, and the Cherry HillInn, a low-cost temporary housing optionfor families of patients undergoing surgeryand treatment at the facility.

In 1978 the Central Building was added,

and now includes the state of the art oper-ating rooms, imaging services, and inten-sive care units for both the Neuro andCardiac units (expansion and remodelin 2008 as part of the Center BuildingPlaza project).

The East Tower was opened in 1989 and,along with the ICU units, is the only build-ing on the campus where patient beds arestill operating.

The Cherry Hill Professional Building andJefferson Tower house outpatient servicesincluding Advanced Imaging (MRI/CT),

physician ofces, ambulatory surgery, and

the MS Center.

A parking garage is located on the west

side of the campus, and an undergroundparking structure is located beneath the

Building Resources

Goals & Needs

front entrance (added in 2008 with CenterBuilding Plaza expansion).

Drivers of Campus Growth

Growth at the campus is constrained bythe campus boundaries and by the fact

that there is no space on the campus toplace a new building without demolishingan existing, still functioning building.

At some point in the foreseeable future,the inpatient facilities will require replace-ment and possibly, expansion. In addition,the increasing demand for space foroutpatient services, research space andeducational facilities will require additional

facilities to be built. A number of externalfactors are driving the need for replace-ment and expansion of the facilities, in-cluding the following:

1. Healthcare Reform-The Patient Protection and AffordableCare Act will likely result in an increasedvolume of patients to the campus starting

in 2014 as over half a million previouslyuninsured residents of Washington statebecome insured through the expansionof Medicaid and the establishment of theExchanges under the Act.

2. Technological &

Patient Care Changes

Innovations in healthcare techniques,such as the use of robots in surgery,

require larger operating rooms. In addi-tion, market demands, health care regu-lations and building code requirementstend to require signicantly larger patient

rooms than in previous years. Conse-quently, future replacement of a patienttower would likely result in a larger foot-print for the same number of beds.

3. Regional Growth

The Puget Sound region in general hasseen signicant population growth in the

last 20 years, a trend that is now increas-ing within Seattles Center City. Thisgrowing local and regional population willplace a greater demand on the services

offered at Cherry Hill, imposing require-ments for growth of campus services.

4. Population Aging

The aging of the baby boom cohort willresult in an increased need for specialtyservices of the type offered at the CherryHill campus, particularly cardiac and neu-rological care. We are forecasting a need

for growth and expansion based on thecampus regional referral status in thesespecialty areas.

5. Cost Pressures

Given all of these pressures, healthcareproviders will be challenged to continueto provide quality care to the additionalpeople seeking care at a cost that is af-fordable and sustainable. Swedish will be

5


8/33

February 7, 2013

DPD #3012953

looking to reduce the cost of care throughefciency and cutting out waste. Replace-ment and remodeling of older, inefcient

buildings can be required to obtain theseefciency gains and to ensure the optimal

use of resources. We will need to improveour efciencies around the management

of supply costs, one of the highest costsof healthcare. Our current campus con-guration is inefcient.

6. Consolidation of Services

In 2012 Swedish entered into an afliation

agreement with Providence Health Servic-es to provide better, more affordable careto the residents of western Washington.

Planning is underway to consolidate andcoordinate services where appropriatein order to avoid the costly duplication ofservices. Swedish, with its advancedtreatment facilities located in DowntownSeattle, is well positioned to become theRegional Referral Center for the Provi-dence Health System.

7. Safety & Quality Over ten years ago a movement startedin the healthcare industry to focus onimprovements in patient safety and qual-ity care based on research. Studies of thephysical environment show that safetyand quality issues are impacted by facil-ity strategies. Specically, reductions in

medical errors, reduced hospital acquiredinfections, and decreased staff stress andfatigue levels can be linked to facility

design. Studies also show that facilitydesign can promote patient healing, re-duce the need for pain medications, andshorten the length of stay in the hospital.The development of new and replacementfacilities at Cherry Hill will need to focuson this approach.

8. Outpatient Care Requirements

Outpatient services and related long termand post-acute services are increasinglyimportant for the coordination of clinicalcare and Cherry Hill is currently limited inits ability to grow these types of services.

9. Research & Education

Our vision calls for increasing the re-search and educational capabilities of theCherry Hill campus and for collaborationwith Seattle University around clinicaleducation, particularly in nursing.

10. Required Facility Upgrades Thecurrent campus footprint has reachedits capacity limiting our ability to provideadditional services to meet the growth

needs. We will need to expand and re-place our inpatient beds in order to meetthe needs of the population, improve ourefciency, and maintain our state of the

art services for the region. Upgradinghospital facilities to meet seismic require-ments is of special concern in theSeattle area as it sits on a signicant fault

line and may be at risk in the event of an

earthquake. Capacity of the central utility

DPD #3012953

plant is also at its current limits. In thefuture; the upgrading, replacing and ex-panding of the central plant and utilities isneeded as new square footage is addedto the campus. Sustainable building isa desirable aspect of any new buildingproject. The growth of healthcare throughsustainable practices is essential for thefuture of the campus.

11. Programmatic Needs

As explained, Swedish Medical Centerhas established the Cherry Hill Campusas its location for its Cardiac & Vascularand Neuro specialties. The acclaimedSwedish Neuroscience Institute (SNI)

provides advanced, progressive treat-ment for a wide range of brain, spine andcentral nervous system conditions. It hasbuilt a roster of world-class neurologistsand neurosurgeons and leading-edgefacilities including the most technologicallyadvanced operating rooms and services.Swedish serves patients outside the areawith TeleHealth access and conducts phy-

sician and surgeon education in the latestnoninvasive medical techniques using thebroadcasting capabilities established onthe campus. A specially-trained InpatientNeurology Team provides a high level ofcare and compassion focused on improv-ing outcomes and renewing hope.

Among these drivers, some may be moreimportant over the next 20 years andsome may be less so. We do not assumethat all of these drivers will simultaneouslydictate maximum growth at the CherryHill campus. But the aggregate effect ofthese drivers will be to require substantialincreases in campus development overthe next two decades. This conceptualplan assumes two new development al-ternatives: a concentrated alternative anda dispersed alternative (both at 1.8 mil-

lion additional s.f., for a total of 3.0 millions.f. gross building area). Neither of thesealternatives would provide adequate newspace to satisfy all the possible needsidentied above; but assuming that the

20-year horizon includes growth based onsome but not all of these drivers, thetwo alternatives provide cases that maybe adequate to address the long-term

needs of the campus.

The Seattle Land Use Code requiresmajor institutions to have a MIMP in placeso they can accommodate appropriategrowth and changing needs of the majorinstitution. The city encourages concen-

tration of growth and development onexisting campuses, but like all inner cityhospitals the dilemma is how to evolvewith limited room to shift spaces withoutdisrupting service.

The focus of this Master Plan is to:

1. Anticipate future space needs basedon the wide range of growth drivers notedearlier in the concept plan, various op-portunities and growth of the primary coreservices and support services for the nexttwenty years.

2. Identify Buildings:- which are positioned well for anticipated

future needs.- which will need to be re-purposed for

future needs.- which need to be replaced with new

buildings for future needs.- which sites for future building are

needed.

3. Provide exibility for good medical cam-pus planning principles.- Identiable entries, easy access to

parking- Intuitive waynding- Separation of ows (public & back-of-

house)- Service Zoning (in-patient & out-patients)- Operational efciency

- Flexible Futures- Brand Consistency

The campus is encumbered with agingand compromised buildings that will notmeet modern healthcare needs in thefuture. A strategy of creating an emptychair into which particular functions could

move during demolition and constructionof new projects is needed. The currentCherry Hill core functions are centeredaround the existing operating theaterwhich is one of the newest sections ofthe hospital, thus the functional core mustremain tied closely to its current location.The only empty chair (site not encum-bered by operational buildings) that exists

today within the current boundaries is thehalf block on 18th Ave. The narrow widthof the half block limits its efciency as a

site for medically related buildings as theinstitution develops.

The proposed boundary adjustments inthis conceptual plan look at what functionis needed and where it is best located tocreate an optimal arrangement for the fu-

ture operations of the Cherry Hill Campusand the neighborhood.

Expansion into adjacent blocks currentlyoutside the MIMP would help accomplish:

- appropriate buffers and transitions tosurrounding properties.

- the provision of various opportunities for

future exibility.- placement of medical services in betterlocations to support a well-functioning campus.

- the empty chair for transitional growth

Alternate 1 - No Action: (Figures 8, 9)

- Maintains existing campus MIO boundaries & height limits

- No logical growth opportunities- Minor vertical growth- FAR limits further growth

- Restricts operational improvements

Alternate 2 - Concentrated Option

Increase vertical capacity to MIO 90 - MIO 200: (Figures 10, 11)

- Allows adequate vertical growth capabilities & concentrates growth- Creates greater height transitions to neighboring properties

- Limited boundary expansion to Spencer Technologies Site (currently MOB)- Increases FAR to amount needed for identied drivers

- Improve internal connections & circulation- Future exibility

Alternate 3 - Dispersed Option

Increase vertical to MIO 37 - MIO 200 & expand boundary: (Figures 12, 13)- Allows adequate vertical growth capabilities & concentrates growth w/ stepped

approach

- Creates more steps in height transitions to neighboring properties- Potential boundary expansion to neighboring blocks- Increases FAR to amount needed for identied drivers

- Development density is dispersed over campus / room for additional open spaces- Improve internal connections & circulation- Future exibility

5. Planned Development, Planned Uses & Alternate Proposals

16

The proposed MIO boundaries, heightdistricts and underlying zoning are shownas three alternates in Figures 8 through13. The strategies all look to place theappropriate hospital functions around the

current operating theater and existing corefunctions. The goal is to maintain some ofthe current envelope heights where appro-priate and place new, higher vertical en-velopes toward the center of campus anddown hill toward Seattle University,

thereby concentrating development inthe center of campus and stepping theheights down toward the edges as a tran-sition to the surrounding properties.The objective of the MIMP is to increase

exibility as the medical center plans forthe future while accommodating bestmedical practices and the needs of theneighborhood.

Alternate 1 - No Action:

Alternate 1 would:

- Maintain existing campus MIOboundaries and street right-of-ways.

- Severely limit the future growth andcontinued modernization of the campus.

- Would increase costs of future remodel-ling by restricting the ability to demolishand replace obsolete structures. Re-

modelling of units also would have to oc-cur while continuing to operate the samedepartment.

- Very limited growth could only occur withan increase of the FAR & increase build-ing heights to current maximum heights(only limited potential).

Alternate 2 - Concentrated Option:

Alternate 2 would:

-Provide exible capacity for future build-

ing expansion.

-Have limited boundary expansion to theSpencer Technologies property.

- Expand vertical capacity from MIO 37,65, 105 to MIO 90, 105, 200.

- Addition of approximately 1.8 millionGSF of building area, for a total of approx-

imately 3 million GSF.

17

- Addition of approximately 3,000 parkingstalls, for a total of approximately 4,500stalls.

- Street vacations of 16th Avenue and18th Avenue.

Alternate 3 - Dispersed Option:

Alternate 3 would:

-Provide exible capacity for future build-ing expansion.

-Have potential MIO boundary expansionto some blocks north, eastern half block of18/19th and/or some south blocks. Po-

tential expansion to surrounding adjacentblocks only as properties become avail-able to purchase by Swedish or Sabey.

- Expand vertical capacity from L-3. SF-5000, MIO 37, 65, 105 to MIO 37, 50,65, 90, 105, 160, 200.

- Addition of approximately 1.8 millionGSF of building area, for a total of approx-

imately 3 million GSF.

- Addition of approximately 3,000 parkingstalls, for a total of approximately 4,500stalls.

- Street vacations of 16th Avenue and18th Avenue.

The Squire Park neighborhood is bound-ed by East Union Street to the north,South Jackson Street to the south, on thewest side 12th Avenue and on the east by23rd Avenue.

Although Squire Park became a solidresidential neighborhood, it always hada considerable institutional presence.Squire Park and the larger Central Areadeveloped into a diverse residential neigh-borhood, becoming the home to manyracial and ethnic minorities over the years,including African Americans, Japanese,

Filipino, and Jewish populations. AfterWorld War II, booming development inthe suburbs surrounding Seattle drewthe middle-class population away fromthe Central Area and Squire Park. Lowermiddle-class and elderly populations re-mained in the Central Area. The areasuffered from blight and disinvestmentuntil the early 1990s, when the technol-

ogy boom and a rising population in theCity of Seattle caused more middle-classpopulations to move back to the Central

Area. This transformation of the CentralArea and Squire Park continues today,marked by general economic prosperity,community efforts, and greater investmentin housing and businesses in the area.

A signicant commercial and light-industri-al district developed between the early1900s and into the 1950s on the westernside of the Squire Park neighborhood inthe vicinity of 12th Avenue and East Cher-

ry Street. The western areas of SquirePark, just east of 12th Avenue, were re-platted several years ago to form smallerblocks. The re-platting allowed more in-tense development and re-development.This commercial area is thriving today dueto the dramatic growth of Seattle Universi-ty in recent years. Swedish Medical Cen-terCherry Hill Campus generally serves

as the boundary of commercial and in-stitutional activity along E. Cherry and E.Jefferson Streets.

The King County Youth Service Center(which includes juvenile court), is locatedin the southern section of Squire Park,occupying six acres between 12th and

14th Avenues at East Alder Street. Thebuilding was constructed in 1951 and hasbeen expanded and remodeled severaltimes since its construction. The Countyhas recently issued a Request for Propos-al to redevelop this campus.

Many of the blocks to the north, south andeast of the Cherry Hill campus are resi-dential connector streets. Most have side-walks on both sides of the right-of-wayand street trees in the parking strip. Thismakes them very walk able streets allow-ing the residents to access the local com-mercial districts and variety of institutionsin the neighborhood. E. Cherry Streetacts as one of the main automobile arte-rials through Squire Park, with E. UnionStreet to the north and Yesler Way to thesouth as arterials. E. Jefferson Streethas lower speeds and contains the busroutes.

Transit options in the neighborhood areunder-serviced by convenient bus routesother than on E. Jefferson Street, the onlyeast-west connection. For north-southconnections pedestrians must travel to23rd. Avenue or Broadway which are onthe edges of the neighborhood.

9. Neighborhood Planning Precepts

Land Use Compatibility

Design medical facilities to concentrate

height/bulk/scale and activity intensitytoward the center of the campus withless development density as a transitiontoward the campus edges bordering resi-dential uses. Design buildings with scale reducing

elements that break-up massing and bulkand that address spill-over impacts suchas light/glare, noise, and privacy intru-sions. Plan for a permeable campus that is not

a barrier to neighborhood linkages. Contribute to being a place where one

wants to live by being a neighborhoodresource, such as with wellness educationprograms, meeting spaces and other car-ing community outreach.

Trafc & Parking

Provide sufcient supply of parking, con-veniently located. Distinguish way-nding with clear path-ways, orienting landmarks, campus widesignage and lighting. Provide complete streets and green

streets so the public right-of-ways providefor multiple functions that enhance the

neighborhood.

Amenities & Sustainability

Enhance street life quality and provide

human scale improvements. Provide weather protection, pedestrian

oriented lighting and conveniences that

encourage transit use. Reduce car dependence and promote

transportation choices. Create healthy buildings, assure energy

efciency, manage the waste stream and

take actions furthering a low impact sus-tainable environment. Make visual connections between build-ings and the landscape, such as healing

gardens , pocket parks, and planted atri-um with distinctive plants, smells, colorsand seasonal plantings change. Use landscaping for buffers and

screening. Provide usable open spaces that are

neighborhood resources for residents,employees and visitors alike.
