Medical Maneuvers

Project: St. Joseph's Hospital-North in Lutz, a three-story, 350,000-square-foot facility with 108 private patient rooms and a 52-bed medical/surgical unit. The hospital is a satellite facility of Clearwater-based BayCare Health System.

The construction value of the project is about $142 million, a figure that surpasses $225 million when it includes medical equipment and technology. The hospital, which opened in 2010, is the first medical center built on a greenfield site in the Tampa area in 35 years. A 50,000-square-foot medical office complex was built next to the hospital.

Features: A well-recognized attribute is the resort-like quality of the facility. Many patients have commented on it, everything from beds to sunlight in the rooms to the hospital cafeteria. Indeed, local residents and people who work in the area eat lunch at the hospital's Twig Cafe, which is run by a Culinary Institute of America graduate.
