Cincinnati Children’s plans a major expansion at its Liberty Campus, improving access to care for kids and families in Butler County and surrounding areas. The expansion will more than double the number of inpatient hospital beds and add surgical operating rooms. 

The project will also include construction of a large medical office building next to the hospital, accommodating numerous outpatient specialty clinics. 

Site preparation will start in March 2025, and construction will begin this summer on the four-story medical office building. Many of the clinical services that will be based there are already available at the Liberty Campus but relocating them to the medical office building will free up space in the hospital. The medical office building is scheduled for completion in 2027. 

A four-story addition to the hospital will include four new operating rooms and three new surgical procedure rooms, plus 10 more rooms for the Emergency Department and add 72 inpatient beds. Combined with the existing 42 beds at Liberty, the campus will have a total of 114 inpatient beds upon completion of that portion of the project in summer 2028. 

Renovation of more than 100,000 square feet of existing space at the hospital will improve patient flow and add eight new rooms for imaging upon completion in summer 2029. The renovation also will allow for expansion of the pharmacy, lab and Sterile Processing Department as well as an increase in administrative and education spaces plus an outdoor dining area. Construction will also include a new lobby and patient drop-off spot. 

At least 250 new jobs will be created at the Liberty Campus over five years because of the expansion. Currently, more than 1,025 Cincinnati Children’s employees work at the Liberty Campus. Overall employment at Cincinnati Children’s is 19,500. 

Cincinnati Children’s estimates the initial investment in the entire Liberty Campus expansion will be $365 million, which includes design, construction and medical equipment.
