The Second Street Pavilion

Hackensack University Medical Center is creating a state-of-the-art new facility on Second Street which will transform the way we provide patient care. The nine-story Second Street Pavilion will bring together the latest medical technology with the best in patient comfort, including private patient rooms.

Construction starts the summer of 2019 and is expect to be completed sometime in 2022.

This new pavilion will be a “Green” building design with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certification, ensuring it is environmentally efficient.

This innovative project reflects the deep commitment of Hackensack Meridian Health to better serve the needs of our patients and their families and provide an enhanced patient experience while preserving the privacy, respect, and dignity that patients and families deserve.

Private Rooms for All

The Second Street Pavilion will include three floors of private rooms for patients. After the Pavilion opens, the semi-private rooms in the current hospital will be converted to private rooms, with the goal of providing single rooms for all inpatients over the next decade.

New Operating Suites

• There will be 24 new operating rooms—a 50 percent increase—enabling our surgeons to take on more cases.
• Six of the operating rooms will house robotic surgical equipment, allowing surgeons to perform minimally invasive operations through smaller incisions and enabling patients to leave the hospital sooner and recover more quickly.
• Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will provide surgeons with real-time guidance in the OR for the most complex surgical procedures, such as neurosurgery.

Exceptional Orthopedic Care

The Second Street Pavilion will include dedicated space for the Orthopedic Institute, featuring 50 beds just for inpatients having orthopedic procedures.

Expanded Critical Care

Patients in need of intensive care will benefit from a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with 50 private rooms.

RSC Architects of Hackensack, in partnership with EYP Architects of Houston, is serving as the lead architect of the Pavilion. The RSC/EYP team has extensive experience in the design of healthcare facilities, including others in the Hackensack Meridian Health network.
