Construction has begun on major expansion projects, costing more than $800 million, at Duke University Health System in Durham, N.C., according to a Herald-Sun report.
The developments include a fully integrated cancer center, a new hospital tower and a learning center for Duke’s School of Medicine. The projects will boost hospital beds by 20 percent, increase the campus by an additional million square feet and create thousands of temporary and permanent jobs with what is already Durham’s largest employer.
"If you were here in 2008 and then come back in 2014, you won't recognize the place," said Monte Brown, the health system's vice president for administration, according to a citation in the report.
