Included in Shorb Tower are 18 new operating rooms, three of which are dedicated to transplant. The hospital also features cardiology, blood and marrow transplant, and oncology services.
Project partners include Turner Construction Co., Self+Tucker Architects, Archimania, HKS Inc., Bernhard TME, and Allen & Hoshall.
The next phase of the project includes 94,000 square feet of renovations to existing patient and operating rooms.
