Aurora Mental Health Center (AuMHC) is the community mental health center serving the City of Aurora. AuMHC currently operates acute behavioral healthcare services at three separate locations: Walk-In Crisis and a 16-bed Crisis Stabilization Unit on the Anschutz Medical Campus; Connect to Care walk-in access point at 791 Chambers Road; and Withdrawal Management services at 1290 S. Potomac. These disparate locations require first responders and the public to determine which location to access, creating unnecessary confusion, as well as the need to move clients across sites when needed. The proposed “Acute Care Center Design” project will support the design-only phase of a new 50,000 square foot Acute Care Center. The new facility will be built at 1290 S. Potomac Street in Aurora, which is owned by AuMHC, and will co-locate the above programs for crisis, substance use disorder, and immediate access to services. Specific design-only activities funded through this project will include: 1) Project Management: project oversight, including assistance obtaining the highest quality design, engineering, and construction vendors for the project; facilitating permitting; and monitoring timeline; and 2) Architectural Design: creation of building drawings for the Acute Care Center. Vendor, Davis Partnership, was selected through solicitation process in May 2022.
