From its Comprehensive Breast Center to its Level III Newborn Intensive Care Unit, the Pavilion for Women and Children promises to have a positive impact on Snohomish County health care.

But even before the doors open this month, Providence Everett Medical Center’s $56 million facility will have had a positive impact on the local economy due to the number of jobs involved.

“The design side probably has had as many as 150 different people working on it,” Project Manager David Wachob said. “For construction, if you include the people working offsite and fabricating pieces for the project locally, there could be as many as 400 to 500 different people at some time during the project that have had some involvement.”

General contractors on the project included Everett-based Newland Construction Co. Inc., Kirtley-Cole Associates Inc. of Snohomish and Lease Crutcher Lewis of Seattle. Architects on the project included NBBJ of Seattle, Botesch Nash & Hall Architects of Everett and Anshen+Allen Pacific of Seattle. CDI Mechanical Engineers of Lynnwood was in charge of mechanical design, and Sparling, which has an office in Lynnwood, was in charge of electrical design.

More than 70 other companies had a hand in creating the Pavilion — a good number of those from Snohomish County.

“We’ve tried to concentrate on local Snohomish County as much as possible. Of course, there’s always some specialty things that aren’t necessarily in your back yard,” Wachob said.

The construction sector won’t be the only economic beneficiary of the Pavilion, which will continue to have an impact as new employees are hired to keep the facility operational, Chief Executive Officer Gail Larson said.

“We’ll have a net gain of approximately 170 additional positions from what we have had in the past in order to have both the infrastructure required in support staff and direct-care providers in the Pavilion,” Larson said.

Providence, already among the top 10 largest employers in the county, employs more than 2,550 people through the medical center’s three campuses, Home Care and Hospice and the Medalia Medical Group, and has a payroll of $153 million.
