Ninth and Jefferson Building at Harborview Medical Center

The Ninth and Jefferson Building (NJB) represents phase two of a multi-phase campus expansion that includes the recently completed Maleng Building and north-wing seismic upgrade projects. The goals of this expansion were to remedy significant seismic deficiencies on the campus and address the need for expanded patient capacity. The construction program is funded through a combination of voter-approved bonds, Harborview reserves and special building development financing.

The NJB project was revised form its original plan to include a 14-story medical office tower that spans the full city block. It houses a center of emphasis in infectious disease control including HIV/AIDS and STD. In addition, specialized services such as the King County Medical Examiner (KCME), laboratories and the Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA) Courtroom are included. Five floors of underground parking, a new computer data center as well as retail spaces at the street level are among the amenities. The new high-rise tower provides leased space for relocating off-campus services and expansion space for additional Centers of Excellence and compatible community programs.
