For years we’ve watched the evolution of the University Hospital Expansion (UHE) project. Now, construction is nearing completion and teams are moving into the new space.

Who’s Moved in So Far?
In June, Surgical Services IT, Clinical Engineering’s biomedical shop, and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) team moved into the ground floor. They’ll soon have many neighbors, as indicated by the occupancy calendar below. Please note that these dates may change depending upon various readiness factors.
