Parkview Health | Parkview Regional Medical Center Core Tower Expansion

Built to meet the rising necessity for additional capacity, the Core Tower at Parkview Regional Medical Center brings more rooms and beds for those in need of care from communities across northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Weigand was tasked with getting this project over the finish line as the construction manager. Coming in at 168,000 square feet and six stories high, the Core Tower matches the look and design of the original tower, which was first constructed in 2012 along with the rest of the regional medical center.

More Beds for More Patients

The Tower retains some similar layouts and benefits of its predecessor with a few alterations such as:

Surgical Care Unit   Specialty Care Clinics  Neurological Care Unit  Up to 72 additional Inpatient Beds  Maintenance Rooms  Emergency Services Access  Patient Discharge Area  Usage of Natural Lighting  State-of-the-Art Technology for Inpatient Rooms  Creation of 100 New Healthcare Roles 

Expedited Urgent Care

Being constructed during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, circumstances began to escalate as Parkview Health was nearing critical capacity limits. In order to better serve the growing needs of the community and Parkview, Weigand accelerated its building timeline so that certain floors would open before the previously established completion date. This allowed Parkview to take advantage of extra inpatient rooms for those being hospitalized with Covid-19.
