Construction for the Clinical Center’s surgery, radiology and laboratory medicine (SRLM) wing has begun. Scheduled to open in 2029, the 547,290-square-foot wing will house three departments—perioperative medicine, radiology and imaging sciences, and laboratory medicine—and National Cancer Institute and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute labs and patient service areas.

For the next five or six years, Center Drive from the gate at Old Georgetown Road to the front of the Northwest Child Care Center and Convent Drive north of the MLP-9 garage entrance will be closed.
