Designed by Perkins+Will, the 14-story, 806,000-sf tower houses the Mary Jo and John Boler Center for Advanced Imaging, an emergency department with 60 treatment bays, 42 technology-rich procedure rooms, and the McCormick Foundation Center for Advanced Emergency Response. Construction began on the 304-bed facility in fall of 2008. LEED Gold sustainable design certification will be sought for the project. The construction manager for the project was Powers/Jacobs Joint Venture.
