Steel beams are now going vertical at the construction site of Boys Town Research Hospital’s 254,000 sq. ft. expansion project northeast of 144th & Pacific Street. The $300 million project – funded in part by a major gift from the Ryan Family Foundation – will add hospital beds, surgical suites and research space, allowing Boys Town to care for more patients, grow its medical staff and unite research and clinical care in one location.
The addition consists of two, 4-story wings that will jut out from the southwest and southeast corners of the existing 1-story building. The expanded facility will allow for 131,000 sq. ft. of additional hospital space for acute care, imaging and inpatient rooms as well as 123,000 sq. ft. of dedicated research labs and clinics. Plans also call for an on-site café.
