Emergency Services Expansion update – March 14, 2025
March 14, 2025
Construction Update: Construction crews are making exciting progress on the Emergency Services Expansion, with an additional 18 emergency exam rooms opening on Saturday, March 15! These are individual patient rooms outfitted with the latest technology, including privacy windows that become opaque at the push of a button.
The latest phase of construction completes “Zone Delta.” Construction crews will complete the final furniture, fixture, and equipment installation, go through their punch list, and finalize commissioning before we open the new space.
Crews will continue to work on “Zone Charlie,” just north of Zone Delta. Interior framing, gypsum wallboard installation, ceiling support installation for exam room lights and lifts above the ceiling, and in-wall mechanical, electrical, and plumbing are underway.
Reminder: Temporary Emergency Services Department is now open
As construction continues elsewhere in the hospital, we have opened the Temporary Emergency Services Department (ESD). Patients should present to the Temporary ESD, located on the southeast side of the hospital.
Access to the Temporary ESD is from the Diplomacy Drive entrance. The former Emergency Room entrance is closed for construction.
Parking Update: Most of the ANMC Hospital’s east parking lot is fenced off for construction activities. Day parking is no longer available in the ANMC hospital east lot, except for limited ADA-accessible parking. The remainder of available parking in this area is reserved for ESD patients.
Additional parking locations include the ANMC Patient Housing Parking Garage (north of the hospital), Denali Parking Garage (east of the hospital), and Flattop Mountain Parking Garage (south of the hospital). There is a marked pedestrian path from the Denali Parking Garage for all foot traffic between the garage and the ANMC hospital.
