Vertical Expansion of Cape Coral Hospital ICU Complete

Lee Health’s 12-bed intensive care unit expansion at Cape Coral Hospital in Florida is complete. The project consisted of an 11,190-square-foot vertical expansion to support Cape Coral’s growing population and reduce wait times for patient treatment.

In addition to adding 12 ICU rooms and staff support areas with a tie-in to the existing second floor, the renovation also increased its dialysis units from four to six.

The expanded ICU features an HVAC system with pandemic mode, which can transform the unit into a negative-pressure environment to contain and prevent the spread of infectious disease. With a construction budget of $9 million, the project was built by Skanska and designed by Studio+.
