New, sustainably built Lakewood Medical Offices to open
New facility doubles urgent care capacity, expands services under one roof, and anchors Kaiser Permanente’s largest brick‑and‑mortar investment in Colorado in 15 years.
Kaiser Permanente plans to open its new Lakewood Medical Offices on January 20, 2026. The offices will deliver a major upgrade for more than 36,000 Kaiser Permanente members who rely on the facility for primary care.
Kaiser Permanente physicians and staff, community members, and local officials celebrated with a grand opening Sunday, January 11, and a ribbon cutting Monday, January 12.
The 3‑story building at 8301 W. Alameda Ave. features state-of-the-art technology, larger exam rooms than those in the offices they replace and doubled capacity for Kaiser Permanente’s busiest urgent care in Colorado.
“As a physician and a leader here at Kaiser Permanente, I’m excited for what this new building makes possible,” said Greg Berman, MD, interim president and executive medical director of Kaiser Permanente in Colorado. “A more comfortable, technologically-integrated exam room space and new collaborative areas will help our teams deliver care even more effectively for our current and future members.”
The new offices replace the adjacent original Kaiser Permanente Lakewood Medical Offices, which have served generations of members and patients since 1972.
“Lakewood has been part of Kaiser Permanente’s story for more than 50 years, and these new medical offices reflect our commitment to continue growing with this community,” said Mike Ramseier, regional president in Colorado and senior vice president, National Health Plan Markets for Kaiser Permanente. “It gives our members more access and a modern experience that strengthens our ability to deliver high‑quality, coordinated care for decades to come.”
Kaiser Permanente Colorado leaders celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Kaiser Permanente's new Lakewood Medical Offices.
Modern design enables staff to deliver next generation of care
Inside the new Lakewood Medical Offices, patients and staff will find 65 exam rooms, compared to 58 in the old building, meeting the need for one of Kaiser Permanente’s busiest primary care locations in Colorado. Larger exam rooms will add comfort and room for new medical technologies.
The new building doubles the number of urgent care exam rooms to 36 — which can help patients get urgent care more quickly.
With a newly designed flow through building, patients will be able to navigate services more easily.
The new Lakewood Medical Offices will also have more services available under a single roof. Services available will include:
- Primary care
- Urgent care
- Pediatrics
- Ob-gyn
- Laboratory
- Medical imaging
- Nurse visits
- Physical therapy
- Complementary medicine
- Optometry-ophthalmology
- Pharmacy
- Vision Essentials by Kaiser Permanente
The offices have new staff spaces for collaboration, as well as a lounge, conference center, gym, and lactation rooms.
First-of-its-kind environmentally-friendly construction
The new Lakewood Medical Offices will be one of the first-of-their-kind, built using a new environmentally-friendly construction method. Components were manufactured off-site, assembled into sections, and installed at the construction site. The method cut landfill waste by nearly 70% and reduced transportation emissions.
The facility is targeting LEED Gold certification.
Additional environmentally friendly features include:
- Solar power generating nearly 1 million kilowatt-hours annually, accounting for more than 50% of the building’s energy needs
- All‑electric building systems
- Low‑emitting materials, including carpet, to reduce indoor air pollutants
- Water efficient fixtures reducing indoor water use
- Native landscaping reducing outdoor water use by more than 50%
- Butterfly Pavilion Native Pollinator Certification
Larger investment in Colorado
The new Lakewood Medical Offices are part of a larger commitment from Kaiser Permanente, the state’s largest nonprofit health plan and a leading medical provider. The organization announced in July 2025 it was making its largest brick-and-mortar investment in Colorado in 15 years.
Kaiser Permanente opened replacement Parker and Pueblo North medical offices in 2025. The organization is also planning to rebuild its Westminster Medical Offices — featuring an urgent care center and Kaiser Permanente’s first outpatient surgery center in Denver’s North Metro area — by 2028.
Combined, these investments are designed to give Kaiser Permanente members in Colorado more choice, convenience, and access to high-quality care across the Front Range.
