The expansion of University of Kentucky HealthCare through additional building projects is anticipated to be a multi-year process. Planning for what could be more than $2 billion dollars in new facilities is now underway. That includes new construction on the Chandler Medical Center campus in Lexington. Acting Co-Executive Vice President for Health Affairs Eric Monday said one need centers on bed space.
“We are going to begin design of a new bed tower that could be one tower, could be multiple towers. It’s undetermined at this point. We do know we need more capacity for Kentuckians, so we need more beds on the Chandler campus,” said Monday.
