The non-profit, teaching hospital Gundersen Lutheran will remain in La Crosse, Wisc., but in a new six-story building for which construction will begin in Jan., according to a Winona Daily News report.
The six-story hospital project will be built in phases over the next eight years with the first phase to be complete within three. Although a specific figure has not been released, the projected cost is millions of dollars and a community capital campaign is set to begin in 2011.
The hospital is being designed and constructed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. The hospital is aiming to be 100 percent energy independent by 2014, according to the report.
