Portions of the campus and parking lots at the League City Campus will be closed for expansion of the League City Campus Hospital. Construction fences and signage will direct motorists.
Construction is underway at the League City Campus Hospital, adding a five-story South Tower that will eventually expand the patient bed count from 37 to 97. When the $156 million expansion is complete in 2020, the expanded hospital will help UTMB meet a need for inpatient care in one of the fastest growing regions in the United States.
All Labor & Delivery operations are being moved from the League City Campus to the new Clear Lake Campus. Once that move is complete, UTMB will construct 17 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rooms where the Labor Delivery Recovery and Postpartum (LDRP) rooms are currently located.
In addition, academic meeting space, clinical trial support areas and clinic space is currently under construction at Medical Plaza 1, which is adjacent to the parking garage that opened last year on the League City Campus.
