Baton Rouge General, Bluebonnet Medical Office Building

This campus expansion allows ease of access from the adjacent hospital, while maintaining a park-like setting. The Physician's Tower connects seamlessly with the existing hospital and adds several new patient amenities including a gift shop, and dedicated drop-off. The tower includes doctor's offices, infusion treatment, and ambulatory surgical services. Physician's amenities include a dedicated physician's entry, expanded pod-based office layout, private access to hospital patient floors, and shared conference space. The development further enhances this fully-integrated medical community. The 5-story structure includes a 2-story light-filled atrium and provision for future pedestrian bridge connection across Picardy for future campus growth.
