History

In 2011 ground was broken for a new outpatient center called the Battle Building, named for Barry and Bill Battle. The building was dedicated in 2014, designed by Stanley Beaman & Sears, and cost $141.5 million to construct. The Battle Building houses pediatric and adult outpatient care and outpatient surgery. [8] [9] At over 200,000 sq ft [10] and 7 floors, there are 12 operating rooms in this building and a clinical trials wing. [11] In 2015 the Battle Building earned a LEED Gold rating. [12]

In February 2016, UVA Children's partnered with UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP) to expand their pediatric liver transplant program. CHP is a leader in liver transplants after establishing the first liver transplant center in the U.S. [13] [14]

In 2016 efforts from UVA were made to start renovations all of the pediatric and women's floors of the UVA Children's Hospital. Renovations had to happen while most parts were still operational, slowing down a relatively small renovation. Renovations effected 58,000 square feet on the 7 and 8 floors, and were completed in 2019. [15] [16]

In 2017 UVA Children's Hospital partnered with Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters to improve care for children with congenital heart disease throughout the region, creating the Virginia Congenital Cardiac Collaborative. [17] [18] In 2021, Children's Hospital of Richmond joined the collaborative. [19]

In the wake of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic the hospital revised its visitor policy to only allow one parent of each child to stay overnight on the inpatient wards. In addition all visitors are required to wear masks on campus. [20]

In addition to revised visitor policies, in March 2020 the Charlottesville Ronald McDonald House stopped accepting new families while remaining open to families already living there. The house reopened to new families in September 2020. [21]
