Construction: Behind the Scenes

Mary Greeley began treating patients in our new west tower in the spring of 2014, which provides larger rooms, specialty care rooms, oncology family suites, on-floor procedure rooms for minor surgical procedures, and a beautiful fifth floor rooftop garden.

But our $130 million dollar capital project didn't stop there, as anyone who's visited or even driven by Mary Greeley knows. Navigating the hospital campus during this time can be tricky, so if you're planning a visit, it's a good idea to look over the hospital floor map.

New, Expanded Emergency Department Now Open

On Thursday, April 28, 2016, Mary Greeley Medical Center began treating patients in a new, expanded Emergency Department (ED).

Workers are also installing new windows and doing the kinds of repair work you’d find on any major renovation.

The sheeting and scaffolding on the north side of the building came down in February, providing a hint what the entire building will eventually look like. The entire exterior will be done in spring 2016.

New Cellphone Antennae

As anyone who’s been in the hospital knows, cell reception isn’t always great, particularly in the new west tower. We’re addressing that with with a new Verizon antennae installed this winter.

New Coffee, Gift Space

The area formerly
used for administrative offices
and patient registration is now
home to Burgies and the
Gift Shop.

Visitors love our Gift Shop and Burgie’s Coffee Shop, and both services now have new homes. The area where they were fomerly located will become the new main lobby and admissions area. In April, the Gift Shop and Burgie’s opened in renovated space. The Gift Shop now has about 300 square feet of additional space for its popular mer
