The Carson-Tahoe Regional Medical Center is located on a 70 acre
campus on the north-west side of Carson City. The Main Hospital will
provide state of the art medical services to the growing communities
of Dayton, Carson City, Gardnerville/Mindon, and Yerington replacing
the existing hospital. While with MacKay & Somps, Louise E. Kehmeier
was the lead landscape architect on a team that provided site planning
and programming for the campus assisting Carson City with a redesign
of a large detention basin. This facility will be multifunctional and
preserves existing wetlands. A redesigned low flow channel will be
enhanced to compliment the existing riparian corridor that remains in
tact on the north end of the site. Trails connect the various M.O.B. sites
to the hospital and regional trails beyond. Once the campus master
plan was complete and approved by Carson City, detailed landscape
plans began to evolve for the main hospital. The program for the
landscape areas includes a regionally inspired planting design, entry
monument, lighting aesthetics, healing garden with direct hospital
access on the riparian corridor, interior rooftop gardens, and interpretive
signage transforming the grounds into a park
