A $200 million expansion and renovation at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, N.C. reached a big milestone this month with the opening of the new North Tower. The 264,000 sf North Tower is the largest expansion in the facility’s history. The project includes an 83,000 sf renovation of adjacent space, including patient rooms. In January, the North Tower will become the main entrance to the hospital, once a connecting corridor is completed that links the new space to the old.
