Phase 1 (Expected completion: Spring 2014)
- Six-story tower on the west end of the main building will house larger inpatient rooms and various medical units, including telemetry and surgery.
- Larger patient rooms
- Inpatient rooms will be 240 square feet, compared to the current 168 square feet.
- Bathrooms will be 80 square feet, compared to the current 23 square feet, and incorporate universal design features, such as zero threshold showers.

- Improved access to technology and modern amenities.
- Two new stories on the existing west wing of the building will house inpatient rooms and medical units. It also will feature a rooftop garden.
- A new power plant will house electrical, steam, hot water and chilled water generation systems and equipment that will support the current and future heating, cooling and energy needs of the medical center.
- Phase I also will incorporate sustainable, energy efficient and environmentally responsible construction practices, with the goal of achieving LEED Silver certification, which recognizes building sustainability.
Phase II (Expected completion: Winter 2014)
