UP Health System – Marquette is enhancing the medical community and economic development in the region with its plans to construct a new, $300 million+ hospital campus. SITE AND FACILITY designs are nearing completion, with groundbreaking slated for spring 2016 and occupancy for late 2018. e new hospital campus will include a state-of-the-art, 265-bed hospital and 80,000-square-foot medical office building, and will be located in the heart of Marquette on a 37-acre site known as the "Roundhouse Property." e Roundhouse site was used for industrial purposes for generations, and reclaiming this "brownfield" to make it a health destination will drastically improve the quality of life for area residents. "Environmentally, this is another step forward for the city of Marquette, which has an amazing track record of successfully addressing brownfield areas previously used for industrial purposes," says UPHS Market President Jim Bogan. "e city of Marquette has demonstrated repeatedly that brownfield areas can be transformed to revitalize our community."
