Baptist Memorial Hospital-Collierville to Begin Expansion Project Construction

Oct 9, 2024 | Public | 0 comments

The expansion for the ICU is expected to be complete in the fall of 2025, with the emergency department to be complete a few months after.

Baptist Memorial Hospital-Collierville will soon begin construction on a $10 million-plus project to expand the hospital’s intensive care unit and emergency department. 

The expansion will double the capacity of Baptist Collierville’s ICU from seven to 14 beds, increasing the ICU’s footprint to 17,000 square feet. Moving from the first floor to the second floor, the new ICU will replace former shelled space and unused rooms on the second floor of the hospital. Once the ICU renovations are complete, the emergency department will be expanded into the former ICU space on the first floor, increasing the ER by 4,732 square feet. 

Baptist Collierville’s expansion project is largely funded through a $5.5 million grant from the Tennessee Department of Health’s Healthcare Resiliency Program. 

Construction on the ICU is scheduled to last approximately 12 months and should be completed in fall 2025. The emergency department expansion will be completed in a few months later. During construction, scaffolding and a temporary air handler may block some parking spaces on the hospital campus. The expansion was designed by ESA architectural firm, and Flintco Construction is handling construction management and services.
