MIAMI, Fla. – Gresham, Smith and Partners has been selected by Jackson Health System to design a major expansion and renovation project for Jackson North Medical Center, located in south Florida. The $121-million project is part of Jackson Health System’s 10-year, $1.8-billion plan to achieve greater financial stability by attracting more insured patients and becoming a destination for specialty procedures and care.
The expanded facility will feature a modernized surgical department with 10 new 600+-square-foot operating rooms and an emergency department that will be twice its original size. A brand new intensive care unit will include 30 new ICU rooms. New renovations will also add three new labor and delivery rooms and double the size of the existing recovery rooms. The project scope also includes a brand new entrance and lobby area.
The project will be completed in phases with the construction on the ICU beginning in the third quarter of 2017. Completion of the entire project is projected for 2020. 
OHL-Arellano is serving as general contractor on the project.
