Look inside Sanford’s new Imagenetics building

By Jodi Schwan

Employees are moving in and the first patient will be seen early next month at the new Sanford Imagenetics building.

The $42 million, 106,000-square-foot building sits on the southern edge of the Sanford USD Medical Center campus at 22nd Street and Grange Avenue on a former parking lot and residential area.

Public tours will be given from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 30.

The building is unique in health care, Sanford leaders said. It combines internal medicine physicians with a genetics clinic and laboratory to deliver personalized care.

Here’s a look at some of the standout features:

The two-story building includes an open lobby that will be used for community education in addition to being a gathering area for patients and families.

Stairs built into part of the courtyard will be used to seat attendees at Sanford’s community lecture series, which will move to the Imagenetics building from the health system’s headquarters in northeast Sioux Falls.

An expanded lower-level dialysis area includes a separate entrance for patients with a layout designed for comfort and privacy.

Additional services in the building include a medical genomics laboratory that will combine labs from several other buildings in one space, increasing size and efficiency.

The building includes flexible workspace for medical staff as well as genetic counseling students from nearby Augustana University.

The genomics initiative was launched with a $125 million donation from Denny Sanford.

Koch Hazard Architects designed the building in partnership with HDR’s Omaha office. The general contractor is Henry Carlson Co.
