🎶 We wanted to see care from a new perspective🎶
The Daniel G and Carole L Kamin Tower at UPMC Presbyterian is anticipated to open in 2027.
The tower — which will be 17 stories and 900,000 square feet — will feature iconic architectural design that will transform the Oakland landscape. The design and the intent of the spaces within the walls of the building will embrace technology advances that support patient experience, staff experience, operational effectiveness and efficiency, and an attractive environment that matches the innovation and care provided by our hospital teams.
With ample space for patients to heal with all private rooms, the space also captures UPMC's vision for linking patients, visitors, and staff to nature and to Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood. It will have many lifestyle concepts from rooftop gardens and flexible outdoor spaces that can host everything from farmer's markets to concerts, and indoor common areas with amenities to benefit patients, families, and staff.
The tower design features:
- A three-level base of limestone and glass, providing visible, material links to Oakland's rich historic masonry buildings.
- Lush, accessible landscape that will add park-like settings to Oakland's distinct landmark buildings.
- Large-scale use of glass that will offset the weight of its 17 stories. It also will offer a clear view of what's happening inside its first few floors, making it feel part of the community.
