In September, the University of Virginia Board of Visitors authorized the addition of a new project to the Major Capital Plan intended to increase the UVA Hospital’s capacity to serve a growing public health need.
On Monday, UVA Facilities Management issued a request for quotations for firms who want to do the work of repurposing an existing facility on Ivy Road in Albemarle County.
“The proposed adaptive reuse of the UVA Health Transitional Care Hospital facility has been identified in the 2026 Integrated Space Plan as one of the initial investments for expanded services,” reads the RFQ. “UVA Health has determined the existing facility will be repurposed for inpatient Behavioral Health Services.”
The 68,000 square foot Transitional Care Hospital was built in 2010 and has had up to 40 beds providing long term acute care and another ten beds that were being used by Hospice of the Piedmont. According to the RFQ, the facility is 3.6 miles from UVA Grounds.
The design includes conversion of the second floor to a mixture of private and semi-private rooms dedicated to Behavioral Health with additional inpatient beds on the third floor.
Responses are due on October 23 and those who make the shortlist will be invited to bid on a request for proposals.
The hospital is within the Northridge Medical Park Facility on Ivy Road. Take a look at a previous story here.
