New a let up in construction at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital

Since it opened in 1953,  Moses Cone Memorial Hospital has been one continuous construction project.  Finish one new addition and another starts. A new heating and air conditioning building is now under construction.

The structure will make more brick and mortar possible.  Moses Cone Health System officials will announce the details soon, but plans call for a giant addition to the hospital, plus some renovation to the existing structure. The heating and air conditioning structure will serve the addition.

The purpose of the project is the elimination of double occupancy rooms.  Once the new construction is done, the hospital will offer single rooms only,  guaranteeing greater privacy for patients and visitors.

In the future, more construction projects will be iffy. The hospital has about used up all the land on its large campus.
