Lexington Medical Center Breaks Ground on Expansion

Lexington Medical Center recently broke ground on a significant clinical expansion on the hospital campus in West Columbia, South Carolina.

Serving as general contractor, Brasfield & Gorrie will construct a 545,000-square-foot patient care tower that will make Lexington Medical Center the most modern, state-of-the-art hospital in South Carolina. The architect on the project is Perkins+Will.

The 10-story tower will initially add 71 inpatient beds to the 414-bed hospital with the ability to accommodate more patients in the future. It will feature patient rooms, operating rooms and educational space for staff and community members, and enhanced dining options, as well as expand the hospital’s labor and delivery and mother/baby departments.

The expansion will also include a new parking garage that will add more than 950 parking spaces to the hospital’s campus and a central energy plant that will support the service needs of the new tower.

The expansion is expected to be complete in 2019.
