Legal Notice
Pursuant to the provisions of WAC 197-11-510 and WAC 478-324-140, the University of Washington hereby provides public notice of the
AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (SEIS)*
Project Name: University of Washington Medical Center Surgery Pavilion
Lead Agency: University of Washington
Description of Proposal: Construction of approximately 160,000 gsf in approximately three stories above underground parking for 280 vehicles. The facility will house ambulatory surgery and routine inpatient surgery together with recovery space, patient observation and pre procedure testing and observation. The Medical Center's endoscopy service, surgery clinic and urology/prostate center will also be located in the proposed Surgery Pavilion. The building would be connected to the east-end of the University of Washington Medical Center (Cascade Tower) via a tunnel located at the northwest corner of the proposed building and a two-story, enclosed bridge located in the west-central portion of the new building. Portions of Cascade Tower would require modification to accommodate the tunnel and skybridge. The height of the proposed building would be approximately 30 feet above the berm that is located along the west side of Montlake Boulevard N.E. and approximately 39 feet above the sidewalk along the south side of N.E. Pacific Street.
The Proposed Action would require removal of 117 parking spaces that are currently located in the University's surface parking lot S-10, removal of (or replacement of) landscaping that is internal to the parking area and surrounding the parking area, and modification of a portion of the University's Columbia Road, which traverses the project site.
It is anticipated that site work for the Proposed Action would begin in spring 2001, construction would start in summer 2001, and the building would be operational by winter 2003.
Proponent: University of Washington
Location of Proposal: University of Washington, Seattle, South Campus. The site is the existing parking lot bounded by N.E. Pacific Street on the north, Montlake Blvd. On the east, the UW Medical Center on the west and the Lake Washington Ship Canal on the south.
Copies available: The cost of the DSEIS will be $5 following distribution of a limited number of complimentary copies. Document will also be available for copying at the Capital Projects Office and at the Visitor's Information Center, 4014 University Way, N.E. Copies are also available for review at the University of Washington libraries and at the Seattle Main Library, and the University and Montlake Branches of the Seattle Public Library.
Public Hearing: No public hearing has been scheduled. The provisions of WAC 197-11-535 will apply.
Final Action: Final Approval project design, authorization to prepare contract documents and authorization to call for bids by the Board of Regents or its delegate.
Contact Person: Jan Arntz, Environmental/Land Use Compliance Officer, University of Washington, Capital Projects Office, Box 352205, Seattle, WA 98195, 543-5200.
