On June 25, Broward Health North broke ground on a $70 million renovation project that will provide patients and their families with additional services, maximize energy efficiency throughout the hospital building and increase space for patient care.The renovation includes an all-new, 35,000-square-foot Emergency Department equipped with three trauma bays. Six additional operating rooms will also be constructed, adding 15,000 square feet to the current capacity.
A new central energy plant will be the cornerstone of Broward Health North’s increased energy efficiency, complete with state-of-the-art generators and cooling towers. A new exterior façade will give the hospital a fresh and modern look.
The target completion date for the central energy plant and new façade is the summer of 2015, the operating suites by the winter 2015 and the emergency department by summer 2016. During this renovation period, all services will continue.
