More than two years after breaking ground for the project, Yale New Haven Hospital will celebrate a milestone for the construction of its new Adams Neurosciences Center.

The hospital broke ground in August 2022 on the $838 million, 505,000-square-foot center on its St. Raphael campus at 659 George St.. in New Haven, that will consist of two towers with 184 new inpatient beds.

The final ceremonial steel girders will be hoisted into place Wednesday afternoon onto the eighth floor of the center. The three white-painted beams were signed by hospital staff and construction workers.

The signal to hoist the final beams into place will be given by Dense Adams. The project was funded in part by the generosity of her and her late husband, Stephen Adams, lifelong supporters of the arts, education and health.

Hospital officials will be joined for the celebration by New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker and Alder Tyisha Walker-Myers.

The new facility, the largest of its kind in state history, will offer the full spectrum of neuroscience treatment — from early diagnosis of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease, ALS and stroke to advanced brain interventions and restorative care.
