ROME — Rome Health says work on the Kaplan Center for Surgical Services and ICU (intensive-care unit) construction project “is really starting to take shape,” per an April 15 announcement on its website.
The milder weather in February gave the crew from the Hayner Hoyt Corporation of Syracuse a window of time to excavate the site and start pouring the footings for the new addition, Rome Health said in an earlier announcement.
Construction workers will complete the $45.7 million project in three phases, and Rome Health anticipates project completion in the summer of 2026.
The project involves constructing a 30,000-square-foot, three-floor addition on the north side of the hospital. The expansion will allow the hospital to replace its aging operating rooms and ICUs.
The Kaplan Center for Surgical Services is named in honor of Charles and Florence Kaplan.
“The $45.7 million capital project will enhance the experience for patients and their families while supporting the care team in delivering the best care out there here,” AnneMarie Czyz, president and CEO of Rome Health, contended in a statement.
King + King Architects of Syracuse designed the project, Ryan Thompson, COO of Rome Health, also noted.
The project is being funded through a partnership of more than $29 million in public funding and private philanthropy, including a $26 million New York State Transformation Grant and $3 million in ARPA funds from the City of Rome, according to a November 2023 Rome Health website posting.
