Hospital Expansion, University of Virginia Health System

The University Hospital Expansion – Emergency Department, Operating Rooms, and Inpatient Bed Expansion will provide for the expansion of the current Emergency Department into the adjacent site that is the location of the old helipad no longer in use, expansion of the surgical services suite on the second level, development of a six story inpatient tower, and expansion of ancillary spaces on the lower level. The estimated new construction is approximately 425,000 square feet and the associated renovation is approximately 95,000 square feet. The work will encompass new drop off, pedestrian amenities, streetscape; and entries into the Emergency Department for ambulance and ambulatory patients. 

This work includes several enabling projects: relocation of the MRI’s from the annex pavilion, underground utility work in Lee Street and Crispell Drive, protection of air intake louvers, interim ambulatory/ambulance drop off areas, and demolition of the existing MRI pavilion.
