The East Campus Bed Tower is a new 5-story, 240,000 sf bed tower. The Tower provides the South Florida community with 228 patient beds, a critical care unit, an intensive care unit (ICU), a pharmacy, and a central energy plant. It’s also designed to withstand, at a minimum, a Category 5 hurricane with wind speeds of more than 180 miles per hour. Onsite generators can supply up to 21 days of power in the event of an electricity loss, allowing the building to operate as a safe haven, should nearby buildings lose power and utility service. The facility also includes an existing pedestrian bridge connection on the fourth floor, creating direct access between the Hope Tower and the adjacent Miami Cancer Institute. The project also includes expanding the existing CEP building.
