WASHINGTON, D.C. — Johns Hopkins Medicine and Turner Construction Company recently broke ground on the New Sibley Memorial Hospital, a 469,000-square-foot, all-private 200 bed hospital in Northwest Washington, D.C. The new Sibley will include an expanded Emergency Department, inpatient pharmacies, 50 postpartum rooms and an 18-bay special care nursery.

The new, larger Emergency Department will be sized for 45,000 projected annual visits and includes new treatment bays and waiting areas. Space will be also be allotted to house a new central chiller plant and consolidation of all emergency generators. A new stair, elevator and ramp for circulation will also be added to an existing parking garage.

The New Sibley is a continuation of Sibley Memorial Hospital’s long-range master plan. This project will accommodate projected increases in annual demand for emergency services, imaging and diagnostic services, outpatient services and medical oncology. The New Sibley was designed and will be constructed to achieve LEED-Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

“This project is a monumental milestone for Johns Hopkins Medicine and healthcare in Washington, D.C. We are proud to be involved with projects that positively affect our community and make a difference in the lives of those around us,” said Ken Jones, Turner’s vice president and general manager.
