The project includes an expanded emergency department, additional patient rooms and additional parking, according to the report.
To support the expanded facility, St. David’s will initially hire 50 new full-time employees, “with the expectation that the number of positions will double within five years,” said Todd Steward, CEO of the hospital.
The original capital investment for the expansion was $50 million, but the expansion of the parking garage bumped the cost up $8 million, hospital officials told the American Statesman.
Construction is expected to finish in 2019, according to the report.
