2019 inRetrospect

Multi-Million Dollar Investment in People and Facilities

In February 2019, UC Health announced it will invest $30 million over the next two years in improvements to inpatient, outpatient and parking facilities and wayfinding across its Clifton Campus, including UC Medical Center, UC Health Physicians’ Office and the Barrett Cancer Center.

“The care that we provide to our patients is complex, but their experience with us shouldn’t be,” said UC Health President & CEO Richard P. Lofgren, MD. “We need to make it easier for patients, visitors and employees to navigate our campus and for our facilities to reflect the advanced, leading-edge care that we provide right here in Cincinnati.”

The project will include:

  • UC Medical Center: The main lobby, emergency department, underground tunnels and many inpatient units will all be upgraded over the next two years.
  • Wayfinding: Wayfinding signage will be updated and improved throughout the campus to help visitors and employees more easily navigate the entire campus.
  • UC Health Rooftop Signage: This distinctive, LED-lit beacon atop UC Medical Center will clearly identify the hospital and Clifton Campus for visitors.
  • Goodman Garage: A refreshed façade for UC Medical Center’s main parking structure will enhance the main entrance to the Clifton Campus for visitors and employees.
This project is part of our Clifton Campus revitalization, which includes a $221 million investment announced in October 2019, the opening of the $60 million UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute and a $22 million, 26-bed inpatient unit in the Ridgeway Tower at 3200 Burnet, formerly the UC Health Business Center.
