Augusta University Health released a series of renderings of its new 100-bed hospital and medical office building project that will become Columbia County’s first hospital.
The conceptual images, which were shown to employees in a recent meeting with project managers, show the hospital’s site plans, exterior, reception area, hospital rooms and green spaces.
Construction on the facilities in Grovetown at exit 190 is expected to start in the early summer and finish in 2025.

The 22-acre site will include a 240,000-square-foot hospital with an emergency department, diagnostic services like imaging and labs and operating rooms.

The new 92,000-square-foot office building will be on an 11-acre site and have a connector to the hospital.

Turner Construction Company, which works on more than 300 healthcare projects a year, and Washington D.C.-based architect SmithGroup are in charge of the preconstruction and design services for the large project.

The campus will have green spaces and a walking trail to promote wellbeing.
