Project Description

The University of Kentucky Hospital needs to significantly upgrade and improve the current clinical space in the Lower Level of University Hospital. This will include therapy rooms, clinic exam areas, infusion space, office, education, and support space for the clinical practice. Given that the clinic will need to continue operations during the project, it is anticipated that areas will be taken down, or phased, during the construction. Surge space to allow the phasing has been identified. The addition will be located along the west side of the Markey Cancer Center/Ben F. Roach Cancer Care Facility, while the renovation will occur in existing research space on the on the Lower Level of the same building. Development of Radiation Medicine clinical areas is essential to growth of cancer programs supportive of the strategic plans for UK HealthCare. Current facilities are split between the Lower Level of the hospital and the Roach Building. Several initial facility studies have been completed that identified expansion and renovation of the areas of the Lower Level of the Roach Building to respond to immediate needs and is consistent with the Ambulatory Master Plan.
