Velocity magazine has a nice writeup about the new OU Medical Center patient tower under construction:
OU Medical Center Making History With New Patient Bed Tower
quotes:
Quote:
This is the first ground-up hospital construction project for OU Medical Center since 1975...
The space was projected to be needed as the Stephenson Cancer Center gained notoriety. In 2018, Stephenson was named as the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Oklahoma.
“If we run out of beds, we have to send people to Dallas,” said Spicer. “So the growth we have is to keep more people here. It’s not to take away business from other hospitals in the city.”
“The largest operating rooms we have now are smaller than the operating rooms that are going in this tower,” he said.
When completed, the building will be the largest hospital campus building in the state.

The building has progressed since the article photo was taken, as revealed by the webcam.
