The facility’s third floor will house the Bruno & Sallie Pasquinelli Outpatient Surgery Center, UI Health said. It will include eight operating rooms and a 24-bay, pre- and postanesthesia care unit. It will connect to the main hospital via a skybridge over West Taylor Street.
UI Health said the new facility will create about 100 full-time jobs.
