Site work is underway, at the site of a 437,000 square-foot hospital and outpatient center off Route 1 in Milford.
“We’re thrilled to get this project underway,” said Bayhealth President and CEO, Terry Murphy. “When the project is complete, it will be a valuable asset to the community. While construction is ongoing, it will create construction jobs helping to make an impact on our local economy.”
According to Whiting-Turner, site preparation must take place on the 165-acre health campus property, including work on the construction of a storm water management pond on the south end of the site. Dozens of construction vehicles are also working to clear debris and other structures from the property.
Scheduled to admit its first patient in 2019, the health campus will include a six-story hospital with an expanded emergency department, additional operating and cardiac procedure rooms, all private patient rooms, and a cafeteria with outdoor seating. Additional services will be available in a separate 70,000 square foot outpatient center located on the health campus.
Nemours Children’s Health System will provide specialized services for children and seniors in a separate building on the health campus.
