Minneapolis-based specialty contractor Harmon Inc. is providing Orlando Regional Healthcare’s new Hospital for Women & Babies with its hurricane impact resistant exterior glazing system. The 11-story, 273-bed facility blends a highly efficient, flexible layout with a warm, soothing setting. Abundant natural lighting, including oversized windows in patient rooms, further defines this inviting and nurturing space.
The two-year building project will cost approximately $100 million and will be partially funded by philanthropic support. When it opens in late 2005, the new hospital will be connected across the street via a second floor skyway to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Expanding the current women’s and neonatal intensive care services, the Hospital for Women & Babies will include a 112-bed neonatal ICU – making it the fourth largest in the nation.
