On Tuesday, St. Luke’s held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Boise campus development project, which will construct a new north hospital tower and a medical office plaza on the north side of the current hospital.
A recent news release says the project will offer expanded capacity and improved care to meet the needs of Idaho’s growing and aging population.
CBS2 reports the medical facility will feature 80 additional beds, seven new operating rooms and a 180,000-square-foot medical office plaza.
This investment will expand support for St. Luke’s services, focusing on heart and vascular, neurosciences and cancer care.
Tuesday’s groundbreaking marked the start of excavation work on the future site of the new north tower and medical office plaza.
The new buildings will sit between Jefferson, 1st and Fort Streets at the transition to Avenue B.
Completion of the north tower and medical office plaza phase of the Boise campus development is planned for 2029.
