The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) is building the new Pinnacle Memorial Hospital in York, Pa. Designed by Stantec to provide integrated, patient-centric care, the 220,000-sf facility will offer 130 private rooms, surgical suites with robotic technologies, cardiovascular catheterization labs, a labor and delivery unit, a 14-bed critical care unit, and a 28-room emergency department. An adjacent 75,000-sf building will house an outpatient surgery center, an imaging suite, an infusion center, and other support functions. The project team includes engineering consultant Barton Associates, Dawood Engineering, and construction manager Quandel. The sustainably designed facility will utilize natural light to promote wellness and reduce energy consumption. Completion is expected in August of 2019.
