White Plains Hospital has broken ground on a 500,000-square-foot expansion. The 10-story, building will provide a state-of-the-art facility for the Hudson Valley’s more than two million residents when open in 2028. As the region experiences continued population growth, the demand for high-quality healthcare services and advanced treatment options becomes ever more critical.
Upon completion, the expansion will increase licensed bed capacity from 292 to 436, ultimately adding 240 private rooms, 144 of which will open in 2028. It will create a dedicated operating room floor with space for 10 additional state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with the latest technology to support the increasingly complex care the hospital provides and more than double the size of the hospital’s emergency department.
“This expansion is a landmark healthcare project for Westchester County and beyond that will greatly improve access to care,” said Joseph Whalen, vice president of operations at Suffolk New York, the general contractor overseeing the construction. “Our team is proud to bring Suffolk’s innovative technology, data-driven processes and client-focused approach to deliver a seamless construction experience and help redefine how America builds.”
The various technologies Suffolk’s project team has used on this project include the Live Dimensions Steel Tracker, a proprietary technology that uses AI to track steel use and progress on projects, from the design phase through the completion of construction. Suffolk has also deployed NavVis, widely considered the most accurate handheld scanner, to capture high-quality data that is integrated into cloud-based collaboration platform Revizto to maximize cooperation across project teams.
“This expansion will help us continue to bring advanced, high-quality care closer to home for our patients,” said Joshua Strugatz, chief campus transformation officer at White Plains Hospital. “We have been very mindful of creating a facility that will address the current needs of our community, while anticipating where medicine will go in the future. Suffolk has been an exceptional partner — collaborative, innovative and committed to delivering a facility that will truly serve our community.”
