Reston Hospital Breaks Ground on New Building

New facility will add 180,000 square feet to hospital.

Reston Hospital Center officials, Board members, physicians and staff on Monday joined together for a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the beginning of the next phase of their master plan. 

The new, $25 million, Pavilion II Medical Office Building will be located adjacent to the existing Pavilion Medical Office Building and provide 180,000 square feet of space for hospital services and physicians’ offices.  With a planned opening in the fall of 2013, the new Pavilion II’s design will incorporate earth tones and tree motifs to reflect the nature of Reston, hospital officials said.

“Reston Hospital Center has grown tremendously since we opened our doors 25 years ago and this milestone comes as our community looks forward to further growth on the cusp of welcoming rail to the corridor”, said Jane Raymond, Interim CEO.  “This ceremony honors history and celebrates the change that the future will bring.”
