UPMC Breaks Ground on $400M Vision, Rehabilitation Tower in Pittsburgh
UPMC broke ground on a $400-million UPMC Vision and Rehabilitation Tower at UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh. The facility, part of UPMC’s $2 billion investment in specialty care, is projected to open in late 2022 and will position UPMC at the global forefront of rehabilitation and ophthalmic research and care.
Once constructed, the 410,000-square-foot tower will house nine stories of collaborative space for clinicians, researchers, educators and industry partners.
UPMC’s Leslie C. Davis says, “The tower will merge UPMC’s pioneering research and outstanding clinical care in vision and rehabilitation, allowing our physicians and scientists to translate our revolutionary science and research from bench to bedside, all to benefit our patients.”
Davis added, “This is the first of the three new building projects that will provide a level of specialty care that is distinct to Pittsburgh and to our health system. Our unparalleled investment will make Pittsburgh the first city in the country to offer individualized care at six specialty facilities.”
