Construction would begin in 2023 and would cost $50.4 million of the overall project budget of $95 million. The hospital has requested proposals from potential construction managers for the expansion. The two additional floors will add 38,000 square feet.

Floors seven and eight will also be renovated for obstetrics services with inpatient beds as part of the project. The new ninth floor will become an intensive care unit of 24 beds, and the 10th floor will serve as a mechanical penthouse for the other nine floors. 

The hospital is awaiting approval from its board of regents for both its budget and design plans.
