Phase 1 will begin with clearing space for the building of the new parking building and conference center along Kealamakai Street between South Hotel and South King streets.

• Increased parking
  A new parking building with more than triple the number of stalls will be replacing the existing parking structure at Straub Benioff Medical Center.
• Meeting and conference center
  The rooftop will incorporate a conference center, providing care teams a state-of-the-art facility to meet in person and virtually allowing for close collaboration in patient care.
• Rooftop garden and green space
  A beautiful rooftop garden will be open to patients and employees to provide a healing outdoor environment.
• Employee wellness
  An on-site fitness center will promote employee wellness.
• A more ‘green’ facility
  The buildings throughout the campus, including the parking building, will be outfitted with solar panels to create a more environmentally-friendly facility.

Phase 2 will begin with preparation for construction of the new medical tower. This will include the relocation of departments and the demolition of existing structures. Once completed, the new 12-story medical tower will include an expanded Emergency Department, larger patient rooms, and more space to provide exceptional, quality care.

• More space
  A new medical tower that is more spacious and flexible, with larger patient and operating rooms, as well as additional space for the Emergency Department. Space for complex care and chronic disease prevention programs that include comprehensive education and coordination of care.
• More efficient care
  Increased efficiencies aided by the addition of new equipment and clinical technologies that will support quality patient care and result in shorter hospital stays and lower patient costs.
• Innovative approach
  Team-based care settings with telehealth rooms to provide patients with multiple alternative methods of care, which will increase access.
• Innovative, flexible spaces
  We will be building innovative spaces that can be adapted to emergency situations where more patient rooms are needed and can evolve as the needs of our community changes.
• Elevated glass walkway
  We are creating an elevated glass walkway from the parking building to the hospital to allow easier access to the facility as well as to preserve mauka (mountain) views for our neighbors.

Phase 3 will focus on further beautifying our community by adding more open green space to urban Honolulu.

• New garden spaces
  We will be replacing the Palma, Milnor, and Makai clinic buildings with significant green space and landscaping. The removal of the buildings on the corner of South King Street and Ward Avenue will allow for more open views from Thomas Square.

• Improved traffic flow
  The porte cochere will be completely redesigned with the patient in mind to provide easy access to the medical center entrance and valet services.

The final phase of the Straub Benioff Redevelopment project will begin with the renovation of the existing medical center and Strode Building. The historic Strode Building, which has been at this site since 1933, will be restored in an adaptive way and remain an important part of Straub Benioff’s century-long legacy.
