The 345,000-square-foot building will house 128 single medical surgical rooms, 30 intensive care unit rooms and several surgical suites. In addition, a rooftop garden and medical helicopter landing pad are included in the design proposal.
Beth Israel’s proposal calls for building the facility on land now used for the hospital’s emergency department patient drop-off, ambulance entrance and campus loading facility. Construction would eliminate 38 parking spaces.
“The project site is largely unbuilt, which is important insofar as it eliminates the need for disruptive and expensive relocation of existing hospital programs during construction,” the hospital said, according to the Boston Business Journal.
The project still needs approval from the Boston Planning and Development Agency as well as the Massachusetts Public Health Department.
