University of Utah Hospital has opened Area E, a nearly 300,000 square foot, $131.5 million facility that will create more convenient access for patients who require world-class expertise for their care, but for whom a hospital stay is unnecessary.
"We are excited to have built a structure which creates a beautiful space for our patients and staff so they can provide exceptional patient care," says Dan Lundergan, U of U Health chief operating officer.
"Area E is an important piece of our growth strategy," says Alison Gaffney, executive director of U of U Health services lines, ancillary and support Services. "Area E will encompass clinics, operating rooms, inpatient units, as well as a plethora of support services in a new convenient and well-thought out building that serves our patients, faculty, and staff very well."
Levels one and two, completed as part of phase one, will house clinics and a number of support services. Phase 2 includes additional support services on level three and inpatient units on levels five and six. Level four will be shell space ready to be used as 91麻豆天美直播 continues to grow.
