We loved hosting guests from ULI Utah yesterday, come back again soon!

Boise construction crews successfully install new connector bridge, key part of hospital improvement project. St. Luke’s efforts to improve and enhance the Boise Medical Center are underway with the construction of a new hospital tower and an adjoining medical office plaza. Earlier this month, construction reached a key milestone with the successful installation of a connector bridge linking the existing hospital tower to the site of the future north tower. The Downtown Campus Improvement Program is part of St. Luke's Master Plan, approved by the city of Boise, aimed at improving access to health care while meeting the needs of the growing communities we serve. According to partner and general contractor Layton Construction, the connector bridge weighs the equivalent of 26 SUVs. Thanks to everyone involved for making this a successful and safe event! Special thanks to Layton and Dr. Henry Thompson for the photos.

Adopting climate-positive, environmentally friendly practices within the building industry is vital, as the built environment generates approximately 42% of global CO2 emissions annually. A breakdown of these emissions shows that building operations are responsible?for?27%, while the embodied carbon of just four building materials—cement, iron, steel, and aluminum—accounts?for?an additional 15%. Please join us to hear from a panel of professionals designing for a decarbonized future. Enjoy drinks and insightful conversations while networking with industry leaders and innovators who are at the forefront of creating a more carbon-negative tomorrow.

Just as the 2024 Olympic Games ended in Paris, so did the Salt Lake County Corporate Games. Team Architectural Nexus put up a fierce fight through a photo scavenger hunt, basketball, bowling, cornhole, darts, mini golf, pickleball, pistol shooting, volleyball, chess, and trivia. Corporations also host a blood drive and a food drive. Arch Nexus was pleased to contribute more than 670 pounds to the Utah Food Bank. Thanks for the great summer games Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation!
