The University of Arizona’s Medical Center is expanding its Emergency Department and adding inpatient beds with a new 211,000 square foot, six-story building directly north of the existing hospital. The Emergency Department will be on the 1st level of the bed tower, with inpatient beds on floors 2 and 3. Floors 4 through 6 will be shell space for future expansion. The Emergency Department will contain a 16-bed Clinical Decision Unit where care will be provided to patients under critical observation. The existing heliport will be relocated temporarily to the parking lot west of the hospital at Warren & Adams while a new heliport is constructed on the roof the addition.
