Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) celebrated a construction milestone with a traditional topping-off ceremony as the final ceremonial steel girders were hoisted into place onto the eighth floor of the Adams Neurosciences Center at Yale New Haven Hospital’s Saint Raphael Campus. The white-painted beams were signed by hospital staff, physicians and construction workers.  

The $838 million, 500,000-square-foot Adams Neurosciences Center will feature two new patient towers with 184 beds and focus on innovations in neuroscience, from movement disorders to neuroregeneration. It is the largest project of its kind in state history and will provide enhanced access to care for patients 

The project is being realized in part due to the philanthropic generosity of Denise Adams and her late husband, Stephen Adams of Connecticut. Lifelong supporters of the arts, education and health, the Adams’ transformational leadership gift will advance the delivery of cutting-edge neurosciences research and care in Connecticut, New England and beyond. 

YNHH broke ground on the project on August 31, 2022. The project was officially announced on April 29, 2019, but construction was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
