University Facilities & Services’ Project Development and Construction (PDC) team has been orchestrating significant advances on the Strong Memorial Hospital expansion and modernization project, an initiative designed to enhance patient care and support the evolving health needs of our community. With improving weather conditions, PDC’s coordination efforts are paying off as larger, more modern spaces begin to take shape across the construction site.
This summer, PDC is overseeing construction crews as they advance critical infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of new utility systems and emergency generators to accommodate future growth. These systems are essential to support the expanded Emergency Department, new cardiovascular pavilion, and more than 100 private inpatient rooms planned as part of the project.
The modernization will add over 650,000 square feet of new space, allowing Strong Memorial Hospital to meet the increased demand for its services while remaining at the forefront of healthcare innovation. PDC’s expertise in managing major and complex healthcare construction has been crucial in ensuring that work proceeds efficiently while minimizing disruptions to ongoing hospital operations.
