Owner: St. Charles Health System

Architect and general contractor: The Neenan Co., Fort Collins, Colorado

Details: Construction crews have built much of the exterior of St. Charles Health System’s new Prineville hospital and medical campus.

The 62,000-square-foot building is expected to be finished by September, said Lisa Goodman, St. Charles spokeswoman. Work began in the spring on the $30 million project, which will replace the 65-year-old Pioneer Memorial Hospital. Along with an emergency department, the new campus will have primary and specialty care clinics, lab, radiology and rehab services, according to St. Charles’ website.

The health care provider is building the hospital on 20 acres previously owned by Ochoco Lumber Co. at U.S. Highway 26 and Combs Flat Road on the city’s east side. St. Charles Health System paid Ochoco Lumber about $1 million for the property.
