Construction firm Robins & Morton, AdventHealth, and architect HuntonBrady recently joined together to celebrate the start of a $220 million, 240,000-square-foot addition at AdventHealth Daytona Beach.

The construction includes vertical expansions in two existing areas at AdventHealth Daytona Beach, totaling five stories.

This will add 104 new beds, including intensive care and progressive care beds, an expanded cardiovascular intensive care unit (CV-ICU), and a dedicated neuro-ICU unit. It will also grow support services, including an expanded sterile processing unit; a new and enlarged pharmacy; a new laboratory department; and expanded imaging modalities, including an additional CT and MRI.

Once completed, the Daytona Beach hospital in Florida’s Volusia County will grow from 362 inpatient beds to 466 beds and will become just under 1 million square feet in total. Additionally, the number of surgical suites will expand from 18 to 22.

“The expansion of AdventHealth Daytona Beach allows us to offer world-class, whole-person care to more patients close to home,” said David Weis, CEO and president of AdventHealth Daytona Beach and AdventHealth operations in East Volusia County. “As the demand for our services continues to grow, we are committed to keeping pace by adding more impatient beds, expanding our specialty care units, and increasing our support services to meet the growing needs of the communities and patients we serve.”

Designed with future growth in mind, this project will also give AdventHealth Daytona Beach the ability to quickly expand inpatient beds and surgical suites even further in the future.

“It’s been incredible to see how AdventHealth Daytona Beach has continuously grown its services for this community,” Robins & Morton Operations Manager Angel Colon said. “I had the privilege of helping build the original hospital from 2006 to 2009, so it’s a full circle moment as Robins & Morton begins another significant project on this campus. We’re grateful to AdventHealth East Florida Division for their trust.”

The expansion project began in July and is expected to be completed by fall 2026.
