Baptist Nassau Construction Begins on New Medical Office Building and Other Enhancements Construction is underway on the $8 million project that will reshape the look of the Baptist Nassau campus and add a three-story medical office building. Physicians and other offices are planned for the new building that is scheduled to open in the summer of 2014. The project also includes: • Constructing a new parking lot and courtyard, along with repaving and landscaping 18th Street to create a smoother entrance into the hospital • Relocating physician offices now in the brick building beside the hospital into the new medical office building • Adding a covered walkway connecting the new office building to the hospital
