Consisting of 95,000 square feet of space, the new facility will add surgical suites and will provide expansion of hospital service.

Upon completion, the new building will connect to the main hospital on the second floor via a sky bridge. The building will feature a new imaging centre including women’s imaging on the first floor, a five-room operating room suite on the second floor, physician practice offices, and an ambulatory surgery centre (ACS).

Enabling a much needed expansion of the emergency department and relocation of cardiology services to the hospital, the design of the new facility will allow better navigation for patients and visitors.

Besides that the new building will also provide greater visibility to the centre from Route 18 and expand the already free surface parking available at the Old Bridge hospital.

The facility broke ground on 15 May 2013 and is anticipated to open by July 2014.
