Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist unveiled its newest addition, a $426 million, 327,000-square-foot building that will provide advanced medical technologies, treatments and expanded critical care services. The building will be located at the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Center, Winston-Salem campus.

The new seven-story tower, called The Freischlag Tower, opened in April and features a new adult emergency department, 28 state-of-the-art operating rooms, 56 adult intensive care rooms, including trauma and cardiovascular ICU rooms, pre- and post-surgical units, multiple MRI, CT and X-ray machines and a new sterile processing department. 

The general contractor is a joint venture between Brasfield & Gorrie and Frank L. Blum Construction Company and the architects are HKS and CPL.

The health system plans to renovate the existing hospital in phases to bring everything up to date over the next year and a half.
