Plans are moving forward to expand and modernize State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to a news release.
Approval of a construction contract to demolish an out-of-service parking garage on the site clears the way for construction of a new hospital annex, which will house an ambulatory surgery center to expand oncology and cardiology services. Russo Development Enterprises (Lawrence, N.Y.) was selected to lead the demolition.
The $1.1 billion project also includes infrastructure upgrades to the hospital’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Additionally, all patient rooms will be modernized and converted to double occupancy, and the emergency department will be expanded.
