Steel Erection Underway for Long Island Hospital Expansion

General contractor, PRO, is currently in the process of erecting the steel superstructure for a 6-story expansion project at Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip, New York (Long Island).

Developed by Catholic Health, and known as the "Patient Care Pavilion", this major addition will add a new, 300,000 square-foot section to the existing, 450,000 square-foot hospital building.

The project broke ground back in May of last year, with the foundation poured this past fall and structural ironwork kicking off just a few months back in December.

The structure currently stands 4 stories in height, and there are still 2 floors left to construct. With the help of J.C Steel Erectors, I-beam deliveries are frequently arriving at the site.

The Patient Care Pavilion will feature a 75-bay emergency department, 16 tech-enabled operating rooms, and 36 patient rooms. The design will also provide flexibility for future renovations and additional floors, which could increase the number of patient rooms to 120.

In addition to medical and care facilities, the pavilion will feature a beautiful lobby with a reception desk and seating, as well as a courtyard garden, a café, and a gift store.

While the pavilion won't increase the hospital’s overall bed count, it will position patients closer to key hospital services, while providing them with more private spaces and larger clinical areas. The entire project is set to cost a little over $500 million, and work is expected to wrap up by early 2025.
