<p>The facility, which will be between 85,000 and 89,000 square feet,
will include orthopedic surgeon and neurosurgeon offices and an
outpatient center for physical, occupational and hand therapy and
sports medicine. An open MRI also will be available at the center,
which will be located on Frank Scott Parkway. The two existing medical office buildings on
Memorial&rsquo;s campus, which are both smaller than the proposed addition
will be fully leased by the end of the year.</p>
<p>Pending state approval, Memorial plans to break ground at the end of
the year with completion slated for the summer of 2011. Memorial, a
313-bed hospital, reported $239.8 million in 2008 revenue.</p>
