UPMC Gives Inside Look At New Hospital: Video Inside

Children's Hospital To Open In 2009

POSTED: 4:50 pm EDT October 27, 2007
UPDATED: 4:57 pm EDT October 27, 2007

UPMC officials gave Channel 11 News an inside look at the new Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh on Saturday.

The campus is set to open in Lawrenceville in about a year and a half.

There will be nine buildings on the site of the former St. Francis Hospital, including a nine-story building for patients and a 10-story research center.

Most of the nearly 300 patient rooms will be private, so parents can stay overnight with their children.

Another feature is the spacious four-story atrium, called a family resource center, where children can interact with parents and caregivers.

The new Children's Hospital is expected to open in May 2009.

It will cost $620 million to build.
