Located in Wheat Ridge, CO, Intermountain Health Lutheran Medical Office is a five-story medical office building within the Lutheran Hospital campus services patients in the greater Denver area. The medical office building boasts a modern exterior, featuring large-format panels with preinstalled windows, clean, straight reveals and an architectural gray acid etch finish that shimmers in the Colorado sun. Additional finish elements include site-built curtain wall, metal panel, and hand-laid stone to complement the Infinite Facade panels, further enhancing the overall building design aesthetics.

When selecting the exterior materials, the design team was challenged with finding a building envelope solution to meet the project goals without requiring structural redesign. Wells introduced the concept of GateLite®, a fully unitized building envelope system. The project team quickly adopted GateLite due to its lightweight nature; it could be implemented within the current steel superstructure and was able to match the aesthetic design intent. Wells was officially contracted in a design-assist capacity to support the design team through permit documents and ultimately make the project a reality.
