The expanded north wing of Banner Children's Tower at Banner Desert Medical Center has seven floors. This structure combines its original design with a significant vertical addition.
Understanding the Floor Count
The total floor count for this specific section of the hospital is derived from its foundational structure and a recent expansion project:
- Existing Structure: The north wing of Banner Children's Tower, originally built in 2009, consisted of two stories.
- Vertical Expansion: A substantial five-story vertical expansion project was completed directly above this existing two-story base.
This means the total number of floors for this particular wing sums up as follows:
| Component | Number of Stories |
|---|---|
| Original North Wing (2009) | 2 |
| Vertical Expansion | 5 |
| Total Floors (Expanded Wing) | 7 |
This strategic expansion enhances the capacity and services offered within Banner Children's Tower, a key component of the larger Banner Desert Medical Center campus located in Mesa, Arizona. The project exemplifies modern healthcare facility design, focusing on optimizing vertical space to meet growing patient needs.
