Construction on the $714 million project is expected to begin in 2022.

This is a major investment to elevate our best-in-class healthcare services and modernize our facilities to ensure we are providing patients the world-class, cutting-edge care they deserve.”
It will total 530,000 square feet with 438,000 square feet of usable space. The nine-story building will feature nine floors of cutting-edge technology and a superior design to provide patients and families with world-class acute care, while enhancing comfort and privacy. The facility will have 24 new operating rooms, new and improved intensive-care-unit beds, as well as three floors of private patient rooms. In addition, the building will include: a new Second Street entrance/visitor lobby, a visitor center, a new central sterile processing department, 24 operating rooms including an intraoperative MRI, 50 ICU beds, shell space for an additional 25 ICUs, 100 medical-surgical beds and a 50-bed Orthopedic Institute.
