Central Peninsula General Hospital will renovate approximately 47,243 square feet of the existing 112,000 square foot facility, and construct an additional 82,589 square feet of new space.  The Soderstrom Architectural Programmatic Study1 was the primary planning document used for identifying patient care areas that needed to be added or areas that required upgrading in order to meet present and future health care demands.  The study identified the need to increase the total number of available beds, as well as provide private acute care rooms, increase the number of surgical suites, and increase pre-operative hold and post-anesthesia recovery rooms.  The project will provide for a total of 50 beds.  Total rooms will change from 32 semi-private to 50 private, (six of which will be located in family birthing), and allow for existing programs to expand in-place.  All proposed new construction will take place within the existing campus, to include a single contiguous parcel owned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough.  Sufficient space is available for parking.

There are three (3) phases of this project, which are outlined as follows:

	Phase 1:  Site Preparation – includes site excavation, foundation, utility infrastructure, and relocation of existing storage building.  Approximate completion:  December 2004.
	Phase 2:  New Addition – will consist of a three level addition.  The first floor is planned to house an expanded surgery department, (with four major operating rooms and one minor operating room), central sterile processing area, waiting room, cardiopulmonary department, sleep studies laboratory, offices for care coordination and social workers, and shell space for future capacity.  The second floor will include patient rooms and an inpatient pharmacy.  The basement of this addition will house a clinical laboratory.  Also included in this phase will be a new parking lot, expanded hospital drive and patient drop-off drive with canopy.  Approximate completion:  March 2006.
	Phase 3:  Renovation – includes expanding the emergency and imaging departments into a portion of the vacated surgery space, care coordination, surgery waiting area and clinical laboratory space. Relocating physical medicine and administration into vacated general acute care bed space.  Relocation of health information systems and physician services into vacated administration and cardio-pulmonary spaces.  Reconfiguration of the vacated intensive care unit is planned to house the oncology and infusion therapy suite.  A portion of the vacated physical medicine space will be renovated to accommodate a new lobby and gift shop.  Renovation of the family birthing suite is planned and will expand into a portion of the vacated surgery space.  The nursery will be moved into the vacated outpatient pre-op/recovery space, as well as adding a dictation room, a lactation room, an infant procedure/isolation room and building upgrades.  A new cafeteria will be built in the existing circle entry drive.  Finally, this phase includes a new roof to match the new construction* Approximate completion:  June 2007.
