At the heart of the Kirkland Medical District lies Evergreen Hospital, which went under the knife to add more than 547,000 square feet of new space. The project included an eight-story patient facility, a two-story emergency department and three levels of subterranean parking. The new facility was constructed directly adjacent to the operational hospital and connections were made on multiple floors to link the new with the existing. The lower floors house a state-of-the-art emergency department designed to handle a high volume of patients during and after a catastrophic event. The patient tower will house upwards of 190 patient beds in addition to six operating rooms and four catheterization labs.
