The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is investing $2 billion in three new hospitals being designed in collaboration with Microsoft.
The facilities will total more than 1.6 million square feet. The three state-of-the-art hospitals are the UPMC Heart and Transplant Hospital, which will be located at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood, the largest of the three facilities, with 940,000 square feet in a 15-story tower featuring 620 private patient rooms; UPMC Hillman Cancer Hospital, a 240,000-square-foot inpatient tower and a 160,000-square-foot outpatient building on the UPMC Shadyside campus; and UPMC Vision and Rehabilitation Hospital, totaling 300,000 square feet at the UPMC Mercy campus.
The Vision and Rehabilitation Hospital will be built as an addition to the existing UPMC Mercy. It is expected to open in 2020.
The Hillman Cancer Hospital will be built as an addition to UPMC Shadyside Hospital and is slated to open in 2022.
Designs for the UPMC Heart and Transplant Hospital and the UPMC Hillman Cancer Hospital will be selected in an international design competition.
UPMC has other advanced specialty care facilities at Magee-Womens Hospital, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
