Baptist Medical Center would expand its emergency department with a 110,000-square foot addition and renovation of its existing emergency services building under plans set to go before the Downtown Development Review Board on Jan. 16.
A staff report says the addition will be four stories plus a 20-foot utility penthouse, for a total of 76 feet in height. The building is sited on a 17-acre parcel containing eight multistory buildings on the Baptist campus at 800 Prudential Drive.
A site plan attached to the report shows the new construction being built to the west of the emergency services building that will be renovated. That building also contains the cardiovascular surgery suite.
