Louisville, Kentucky’s First New Hospital in 150+ Years Opens
Norton West Louisville Hospital opened its doors to patients, giving residents of West Louisville, Kentucky access to outpatient, hospital and emergency services, as well as primary and specialty care closer to home. It is the first new hospital built in West Louisville in more than 150 years.
Norton West Louisville Hospital has a 24/7 emergency department; inpatient treatment; operating rooms; laboratory services; imaging services, including X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI; and a retail pharmacy.
Special touches found in the $90-million hospital include three construction beams signed by more than 2,000 employees and residents displayed outside of the Gouverneur H. Nixon Jr. Community Education Center. With donations made through the Norton Healthcare Foundation, artwork curated by a West Louisville resident — and many pieces by two West Louisville artists — adorn walls throughout the hospital and medical office space.
The hospital also has a centralized check-in area, community rooms, a bistro, outdoor green space and a Dare to Care food pantry.
The project team included general contracting joint venture team of Harmon/Messer, architectural firm Moody Nolan along with Louisville-based architect Carey Anderson and community construction consultants 7PM Group, OneWest and NTC.
