The hospital’s board of regents will meet next week to approve the higher cost, four years after initially discovering problems with the windows on floors four and five. After further investigation, hospital officials now believe windows on floors three through 11 need replacing.
With the $45 million window project and another $16 million that the hospital was ordered to pay a contractor, the hospital’s total construction cost could reach $450 million, a 66 percent increase from the initial cost estimate. The hospital opened in 2017.
