View Award Description

Adult/Adolescent Inpatient Behavioral Health Expansion Project at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital - The Greater Fairbanks Community Hospital Foundation will renovate and expand inpatient behavioral health services at its facility located at 1650 Cowles Street in Fairbanks, Alaska. The project will improve approximately 9,418 square feet of existing space within the current Inpatient Adult Behavioral Health Unit and adjacent office areas to enhance care delivery and increase capacity. The project includes renovation of the existing adult behavioral health unit and expansion to create a new Inpatient Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit, addressing a critical gap in local behavioral health services for youth and families in Interior Alaska. The project will improve access to inpatient behavioral health care for a geographically large and underserved region, where patients currently face limited local treatment options and often must travel long distances to receive care. Work will include reconfiguration of clinical space; installation of permanently affixed and medical equipment; and upgrades to building systems, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection. Interior construction will include finishes, doors, glazing, and specialty components designed specifically for behavioral health settings, incorporating safety features such as ligature-resistant fixtures, anti-barricade systems, and tamper-resistant elements to ensure a secure and therapeutic environment. The project will be implemented within the existing hospital structure and will not expand the building footprint. All work will adhere to applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including life safety, infection control, and accreditation standards. Construction will be delivered through a design-build approach to ensure efficiency, continuity, and minimal disruption to ongoing hospital operations. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026 and be completed by early 2028, at which time the expanded and renovated facility will be fully operational. This project represents a significant investment in strengthening behavioral health infrastructure in Interior Alaska by expanding capacity, improving safety, and increasing access to high-quality inpatient services for both adult and adolescent populations.
