Rhode Island Hospital
Bridge Building Expansion
Rhode Island Hospital is the largest hospital in southeastern New England, with the region’s only trauma facility.
This challenging project created a major expansion of the hospital’s emergency department and operating room facilities. It also included a new underground parking structure and elevated ambulance drop-off plaza.
Phase 1 included the underground garage, new Emergency Department, a new surgery suites level, and a two-story high mechanical space. Phase 2, constructed four years later, included three new levels of bed floors, and a three-level cantilevered pedestrian bridge extending to a dramatic new 100’ tall elevator and stair tower adjacent to the building.
