AdventHealth Daytona Beach Kicks Off Expansion Project
Construction has officially begun at AdventHealth Daytona Beach on a multi-phased, $220 million project to add 104 inpatient beds, four new surgical suites, and more than 240,000 square feet to the facility, according to a media release.
The construction includes vertical expansions on two existing towers at AdventHealth Daytona Beach: a four-story vertical expansion on one tower and a one-story vertical expansion on a separate tower.
“This major expansion project will increase the community’s access to world-class, patient-centered, whole person care and enable us to better meet the health care needs of our growing patient population well into the future,” said David Weis, president and CEO of AdventHealth Daytona Beach and the East Volusia Market, in the release. “This expansion project raises the bar on patient care excellence in the region and we could not be prouder to advance health care for the communities we are privileged to serve.”
Construction firm Robins & Morton and architect HuntonBrady recently joined with AdventHealth Daytona Beach leadership to celebrate work beginning on the project by planting a new tree, a Japanese Blueberry. The tree signifies AdventHealth Daytona Beach’s deep roots and more than 40 years of service in the community, the release states.
In the upcoming weeks, work will begin over the fourth floor of the second tower — the “high-rise” portion of the project that will add four more floors.
“This is something we’ve been planning for quite some time now and we are so thrilled construction has begun on this massive expansion project,” said Dave Tkachuck, chief operating officer of AdventHealth Daytona Beach, in the release. “In recent months, we’ve experienced a high volume of patients seeking our care, which reflects the deep trust our patients place in our clinicians.”
Once completed, the hospital will grow from 362 inpatient beds to 466 beds and will become just under 1 million square feet in total. Additionally, the number of surgical suites will expand from 18 to 22.
The expansion project is expected to be completed by fall of 2026.
