The four-storey tower will rise above the Emergency Department of the hospital, situated at the centre of the main campus near Coral Gables.

It will include new advanced operating suites and private pre- and post-surgical care spaces for the children as well as their families.

The new operating suites will replace current operating rooms, which are 35 years old and lack size and ceiling height required to accommodate the latest equipment.

Slated to be completed in 2024, the new surgical tower will offer virtual reality surgical planning, augmented reality during surgery, and many other.
