Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn is celebrating the opening of its new “green” medical pavilion today.
Mayor Bloomberg and the president of Brooklyn, Marty Markowitz, are expected to join hospital leaders at a ribbon-cutting ceremony this evening.
The $118 million construction project, started in 2004, will add eight floors, or 92,600 square feet, to the Brooklyn hospital. According to hospital officials, the new space includes nine operating rooms. The pavilion will augment the existing emergency department, neonatal intensive care unit, and other services.
Recycled and low carbon imprint materials were used during construction, and the building is designed to be energy efficient.
