In February, DHMC postponed plans for new buildings, including the C. Everett Koop Medical Science Complex, but not the offsite Outpatient Surgery Center (2008-2010, SBRA) (Dartmouth Medicine; press release; mention in Vermont Today). The building presents an interesting study in urbanism: instead of adding the needed operating rooms to its existing medical complex, the hospital is placing them in a freestanding low-rise building very near by, either because the main hospital has run out of space (!) or because surgeons in training need an experience like that of a private practice.
