The U.Va. Medical Center in Charlottesville will host a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for its $394 million expansion project.
The project includes a renovated and expanded Emergency Department on the site of the former ground helipad. A larger expanded procedural and recovery space will be built one floor above the existing Emergency Department.
In addition, a six-story tower will be built above the procedural space. Three floors will be used for private inpatient rooms, enabling UVA to convert most of its semi-private rooms into private rooms. The remaining three floors will be unfinished space reserved for future needs of the health system.
