Sacred Heart Medical Center, University District
  
Along with the construction of Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, a major renovation is planned for Sacred Heart’s current campus on Hilyard Street in Eugene, now known as the University District campus. Beginning in 2008 the campus, which has been home to Sacred Heart for more than 70 years, will undergo a substantial renovation, including removal of some of the older buildings and modifications to interior spaces. A new entrance off Alder Street will provide improved pedestrian amenities and more patient/visitor parking spaces for those requiring ready access to hospital services. The following is a quick overview of plans for this campus.
