After years of planning and community meetings, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital received a unanimous thumbs-up from the Zoning Commission June 8 on the hospital’s newest addition: a 477,000-square-foot surgical pavilion at 3800 Reservoir Road NW.
Just east of the main hospital, built in 1946, the six-story building will add green space and replace a surface parking lot with a 644-vehicle underground parking garage. It will house a new emergency room, two floors of surgery (including 32 operating rooms), 156 private patient rooms and a rooftop helipad. The construction will begin next year, with completion anticipated in 2021.
“We greatly appreciate the support we have received from numerous community leaders and organizations to ensure this facility becomes a reality for the patients we serve,” MedStar Health said in a statement.
