Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo, Mich., is planning a $35 million expansion that will add more operating rooms, according to an article on the MLive website.
The Stryker Center at Borgess was originally built with space for laboratory and diagnostic testing and to perform outpatient services and procedures. It was designed in such a way that it can be expanded vertically.
A second floor will add about 32,000 square feet, including ten 360-square-foot operating rooms to provide space for current and future technologies. It will also have room to build two other surgical suites in the future and have facilities to sterilize surgical instruments, work that is now done elsewhere in the hospital.
Space inside the Borgess Birthing Center, which is in the hospital's North Tower, is to be renovated and retrofitted to include two new operating rooms for birthing.
