Piedmont completes $194M patient tower beauty

Atlanta-based Piedmont has finished its $194 million patient tower at Piedmont Athens (Ga.) Regional, which spans nearly 229,000 square feet. There were two phases of the project, which started in October 2018: a new patient floor on the hospital’s Prince Tower Two, and the demolition of the 100-year-old 1919 Tower and construction on the new one, Piedmont said April 21. The new tower has 128 inpatient rooms, a retail pharmacy, a patient and family resource center and inpatient and outpatient clinical program support areas.
