Plans also call for existing areas of the hospi- tal to be expanded and remodeled to enhance patient privacy and comfort. Rod A.

The tower will cost approximately $156 million and offer some of the most advanced medical amenities available, St. Rose officials said. When completed, it will add almost 100 private rooms to the Siena campus, in addition to 72 adult medical and surgical unit beds, 24 Intensive Care Unit beds, 11 neonatal ICU beds, 32 emergency room and observation bays and six operat- ing suites. The parking garage will add almost 500 parking spaces. Tower construction is scheduled to begin in April and is expected to be completed by June 2015. Garage construc- tion will begin in August and is expected to be completed by April. About 700 new jobs are expected to be generated when the tower is fully operational. The Siena Campus employs about 1,500 people. 5
