    Team members from Connecticut Children’s, DPR Construction, Cannon Design and the project’s trade partners dressed as superheroes to celebrate the groundbreaking of an eight-story clinical tower. Located in Hartford, Connecticut, this project is the next step in the health system’s growth and expansion plan.

    When complete in late 2025, the 190,000-square-foot expansion will connect to the existing hospital and feature two floors with 50 private neonatal intensive care rooms, a fetal care center with six labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms, as well as two dedicated operating rooms, and an advanced gene therapy unit where bone marrow transplants and liquid radiation treatments can be performed. Each department will be right-sized in order to alleviate program constraints of the hospital. The team is using Integrated Project Delivery and Lean construction principles.

    Additional features include:

    • 14-bed acuity adaptable unit
    • Open-air terraces on inpatient floors
    • Expanded kitchen facilities
    • High-tech meeting and conference space
    • Expanded pharmacy & gift shop
