Dayton, Ohio

The $168 million investment in the new tower, which stands between Ohio 4 and Valley Street, adds to a remarkable building boom that in recent years has led to hospital construction projects from one end of the Miami Valley to the other.

The new patient tower at Children’s stands 151 feet high and adds 260,000 square feet of space. But highlighting a trend that holds true across the region, the tower will add just 16 new beds, raising the hospital’s number of licensed beds from 155 to 171.
