Groundbreaking for New State-of-the-Art Surgical Tower

Nicklaus Children's Hospital celebrates the construction launch of a 127,000-square-foot surgical tower slated for completion in 2024.
The surgical tower will enable the hospital to construct new state-of-the-art operating suites to replace existing operating rooms that are now 35 years old and lack the size and ceiling height necessary to accommodate fully the latest equipment, along with multidisciplinary surgical teams required for complex cases. Offerings will include augmented reality during surgery, virtual reality surgical planning and more.
The new structure will also offer spacious and private pre- and post-surgical care spaces for the children and families we serve.
