Froedtert Hospital announced plans to build a nine-story patient tower to expand its capacity to care for patients.
If approved by the city of Wauwatosa, the 225,000-square-foot tower will be situated where the main entrance of the hospital is located on North 92nd Street and West Doyne Avenue. The structure will include inpatient care floors, a new main lobby expansion and a bridge connector to a parking structure currently under construction across North 92nd Street. Construction will start in summer 2024, with an anticipated opening in 2027.
“The new tower is part of our acute care strategy aimed at addressing capacity issues and capability for new growth, said Eric L. Conley, president, South Region, Froedtert ThedaCare Health Inc., president, Froedtert Hospital. “This expansion will allow us to meet the growing need for our services throughout the region.”
Wauwatosa’s Design Review Board will review design plans at its Jan. 18 meeting.
Froedtert Hospital is working with Cannon Design on facility design considerations. Mortenson Construction will serve as general contractor for the project.
