First steel beams set on High Street Tower project
Last week, workers from Kelley Construction Inc. set the first steel beams on High Street Tower, a major step towards completing this project. Despite difficult weather, the project is still on time and expected to be completed by the Summer of 2026.
High Street Tower will be a five story structure that will provide a new location for Women & Children’s Services at Med Center Health, which includes one of the largest obstetrics units in Kentucky. Two floors will feature expanded space for ante-partum, labor and delivery, cesarean suites, post-partum, and an emergency department dedicated solely to obstetrical patients. The Women & Children’s Services space will also house the region’s only Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Other floors will allow for future expansion of the emergency department, surgery, endoscopy, and additional medical and surgical beds. High Street Tower will be built steps away from the former location of High Street School, an important part of Bowling Green’s local history.
