Construction will begin this November on an expansion of the Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina. The hospital needs new space to resolve a current problem with overcrowding, and to prepare for projected demand. The addition is estimated at about 850,000 square feet, and will be the location of a new cancer center (opens in 2012) and a new patient tower (opens in 2013). Total cost for the project is expected to exceed $700 million.
Duke University Hospital is highly regarded throughout the world for excellence in clinical services, research and training. In addition to its flagship hospital in Durham, Duke University Health System owns Duke Raleigh Hospital and operates Durham Regional Hospital.
