The facility had no viable options for vertical growth, so the solution was to expand the hospital to the north at what is traditionally seen as the "back side" of the hospital. With a minimal footprint and future vertical expansion capabilities, this new tower sits on the site between the existing hospital and an existing medical office building, creating a second main entrance for the hospital. Due to its location near the existing powerhouse and loading dock, the design team used architectural elements to screen the tower entry.
