The Rudd Heart & Lung Tower at Jewish Hospital is designed to be a 'State of the Art' facility dedicated to the treatment of major organs, specifically heart and lungs. The project is a multi-story facility constructed on a small urban site located adjacent to the original hospital. The fourteen-story program includes space for surgery, heart cath labs, ICU, CCU, pre-op, recovery, three floors of patient rooms, doctor's offices, conference facilities, and corporate offices. The tower is connected to floors two through five of the existing hospital by an occupied bridge. The tower is also connected to the Outpatient Care Center by an occupied bridge on the second floor.
