The Completed Project

The hospital expansion will position Loyola for the future of medical care. In addition to the new two-story hospital lobby when construction is completed, other patient comforts will be separate elevators and corridors for patients and the public.

Construction includes the development of 176,000 square feet of new space and 60,000 square feet of renovated existing hospital space. Other additions include:

• 12 new operating rooms for a total of 27 – more operating rooms will allow the hospital to meet the increased demand
  
• 64 private hospital rooms – private rooms allow patients more privacy and family members greater comfort in being at the bedside for extended hours, even overnight

The Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine also will be renovated as part of the medical center expansion. The center, created in 2004, provides an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to caring for inpatients and outpatients with vascular and heart disorders. The center will receive a new reception area, new areas for non-invasive cardiac and peripheral vascular diagnostics, four new cardiac catheterization laboratories and three new electrophysiology laboratories with room for one additional laboratory to accommodate growth.
