Tampa General Hospital presented plans for the new TGH Surgical, Neuroscience & Transplant Pavilion at the Tampa City Council meeting and received unanimous approval to rezone land, paving the way for construction.
The new pavilion will be home to Tampa General’s surgical, neuroscience and transplant services. The 13-story, 565,000-square-foot medical building will provide 144 patient beds, 32 operating suites and increased intensive care unit capacity. In addition, there will be space for education and training, emergency response and sterile processing, along with two floors reserved for future growth. This building is the flagship of Tampa General’s $550-million Master Facility Plan, which was designed to meet the growing need for care in the region and across the state of Florida.
The TGH Surgical, Neuroscience & Transplant Pavilion will be a pillar in the burgeoning Tampa Medical and Research District, anchored by Tampa General and USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, where world-class clinical care, academics, research and biotechnology intersect in the heart of Tampa.
The pavilion will be located adjacent to the hospital’s main building on Davis Islands. Public access around the building will be preserved, so that residents and visitors can walk the perimeter of the Tampa General campus on the island and enjoy the beauty of the new structure and space. Construction will begin in 2024 and is expected to be completed within three years.
