Oregon Health & Science University Opens Vista Pavilion

Leaders and patients marked a transformative expansion of one of Oregon’s largest hospitals with a ribbon-cutting for the new Vista Pavilion at Oregon Health & Science University. 

Vista immediately adds 128 new inpatient beds; once it is fully built out, it will expand OHSU Hospital’s capacity by about one-third. By providing a dedicated area to patients with cancer, the project frees up space in the existing hospital to care for people who need cardiovascular, neurological and other kinds of healthcare. 

The 14-story pavilion will apply a new model of wraparound care to ensure patients and families can focus on their treatment within a single building, which was designed with their input and their specific needs in mind. 

The 530,000-square-foot building connects to OHSU’s existing hospital via three distinct skybridges in the heart of campus. 

Skanska is general contractor and NBBJ is the architect.
