A new proposal for the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center expansion was released by fox8 news last night. plans call for three 8-story buildings!!! too bad it couldnt be one 24 story building, but im still satisfied with the proposal. The story also mentions that 100's of jobs would be created! The $218 mil project calls for a total of 438,000 square feet housing a new adult emergency department and new intensive care units. Each floor would have a self-contained ICU.

If approved, this would be the largest hospital expansion in NC history.

This will be a VERY impressive expansion. Nice addition to the Medical Center's skyline and definitely a great way to add jobs because medical services will always be needed... unfortunately. Keep us posted when more renderings become available. Who knows, maybe they will go from 3 buildings to 2 buildings - one 15-story and one 10 story ;) I guess it is easier to evacuate three 8-story buildings.

^yea thats true. the only bad news is that this wont be visible from bus. 40 :(.
