Darien News - Norwalk Hospital Announces Major Expansion: "
Norwalk Hospital is expanding here, there, seemingly everywhere.
In a press conference Tuesday, hospital President and Chief Executive Officer Geoffrey Cole announced that the 'main campus' on Maple Street will be renovated and four new medical facilities will be created, three in Norwalk and one in Georgetown.
The construction projects include an additional 250,000 square feet of space 'to meet the growing demands of our community for services and the growing demands and needs of our physicians to in turn meet the needs of our community and the patients that we serve,' said Cole.
... The project's developer, National RE/sources, aims to have its building certified at the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's platinum level. LEED is a program through the U.S. Green Building Council that is a "nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings," according to the council's Web site. Platinum is the highest level of certification a building may earn. The hospital's facility at i.park is to be completed by the end of the year. ..."
