Cooper University Hospital's
$222 million facility expansion in Camden, New Jersey is a key part of our efforts to create a 21st century Health Sciences Campus, which will also include a new
$130 million Academic and Research Building at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School as well as a proposed stem cell institute, auditorium and public meeting center, clinical research building, clinical office building and additional off-street parking.
All of the current and future plans center on the Board of Trustees' commitment to creating a health sciences campus, in an urban setting, that is integrated into the fabric of the existing neighborhood.
For the surrounding neighborhood, additional landscaping and decorative lighting for the entire Cooper Plaza area is planned, which will enhance safety and create a memorable evening presentation. The campus streetscape will extend into the neighborhood, using materials that complement the existing historical buildings. There are also plans to relocate all overhead wiring underground to further add to the area's aesthetics. The goal is a secure, well-lit community and campus where people feel safe walking, both day and night.
The Cooper Health Sciences Campus for the 21st Century is an investment in the future of healthcare for Camden and all of South Jersey. We invite you to watch this short video and experience our vision to expand the quality of healthcare while promoting economic growth for the region. Now more than ever, serious care starts here.
