Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in southern Miami-Dade County has proposed a new surgical building.

The nonprofit hospital filed a pre-application with county officials concerning its 23.1-acre campus at 3200 S.W. 60th Court. It wants to build a four-story, 116,169-square-foot surgical building on the south side of the campus, to be built atop the one-story emergency department. It would also relocate the helipad from the rooftop of the emergency room to the roof of the existing 6-story patient bed building.

Chicago-based Perkins & Will designed the project. Miami-based attorney Simon Ferro represents the hospital in the application.

Founded in 1950, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is the only licensed specialty hospital for children in South Florida.
