WVU Hospital unveils plans for new four-story Eye Institute with expanded clinics and research facilities

The Morgantown City Council recently heard an exciting presentation regarding the expansion of the West Virginia University (WVU) Hospital's Eye Institute. This project aims to address the growing demand for eye care services in the community by constructing a new, four-story facility on the hospital's property.

The proposed Eye Institute will feature two floors dedicated to clinics, a third floor equipped with operating rooms, and a fourth floor designated for research and administrative offices. This expansion is crucial as the current facility has outgrown its capacity, and the new building will enhance the quality and accessibility of eye care for residents.

In addition to the new structure, the project includes plans for a parking deck that will provide approximately 1,000 parking spaces. This will not only accommodate the needs of the new Eye Institute but also improve parking availability for staff and visitors at the hospital.

The development of the Eye Institute is expected to have a significant positive impact on the community by improving healthcare services and creating a more efficient environment for both patients and medical staff. As the project moves forward, it reflects the city's commitment to enhancing healthcare infrastructure and meeting the needs of its residents.
