MAJOR PROJECT MILESTONES The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) announced that MVHS was the recipient of the $300M Health Care Facility Transformation grant. MVHS and design team conduct over 90 user meetings and 100 community meetings to develop the design of the new hospital. MVHS submits Certificate of Need Application. MVHS submits RFA; holds Community Forums; announces the selection of the architectural and construction firms; announces Memorandum of Understanding with Masonic Labs. Architects, including the urban planner from NBBJ, in collaboration with the MVHS outreach team, begin conducting meetings to gather input and advance the site plan and design for the new regional healthcare campus. 4 MVHS conducts press release revealing the campus site plan and outline and two community forums.
MAJOR PROJECT NEXT STEPS The MVHS design team will continue to develop the site plan along with the character of the campus landscape. MVHS Integrated Health Campus ground breaking. The MVHS team will begin the permitting process with the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) to identity and mitigate project impacts.

COMMUNIT Y ENGAGEMENT AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES Since 2015, Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) and its project support teams have engaged more than 2,000 individuals in our community to gather feedback to be considered during the design of the Regional Healthcare Campus. Community input has been gathered through more than 100 meetings, from personal interviews, to small group meetings, to two major community forums thus far. Participants have included representatives from: AUD Authority Resource Center for Bagg s Square Association Independent Living Cornhill Neighborhood Association Oneida County The Community Foundation Legislators Court Street Children s Center The Parkway Downtown Utica Committee Center East Utica Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Utica Comets Watch Association Utica Common Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce Council Harbor Point Local Development Corporation Utica Rotary Club Landmarks Society of Greater Utica West Side Senior Center Mohawk Valley Latino Association West Utica Concerned Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees Citizens. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People The information and perspectives gathered through these discussions have been used to develop the following guiding principles. These stakeholder interests are helping guide the design of the new hospital, including how to best integrate the campus into the surrounding neighborhoods and downtown. Guiding Principles In terms of architectural design and layout, the new hospital facility should: Principle Preserve the street grid as much as possible. M V H E A LT H S Y S T EM.O R G How Principle is Reflected in Plan to Date Columbia, State, part of Lafayette still intact; created remainder of Lafayette as a pedestrian way. Continued > CO M M U N I T Y@ M V H E A LT H S Y S T EM.O R G Mohawk Valley Health System
Principle Consider how the height of the building fits in with the Utica skyline. How Principle is Reflected in Plan to Date Similar or lower in height than buildings such as Kennedy Plaza, Hotel Utica, and State Office Building. Incorporate green space. Park-like areas, tree lined walks, green infrastructure, etc. Promote connectivity with the surrounding neighborhoods. Streets and campus walkways allow access into and through campus east, west, north, south. Allow for aesthetic views (healing, artistic, attractive, etc.). Designed location of patient rooms so no windows point inward, all exterior views. Incorporate features that accommodate four-season weather conditions. Proximity of garage to hospital covered walkways, canopy, lighting, etc. Contribute to vibrancy of the city with features that are favorable to surrounding late-night activity. Street/campus lighting, security, parking, pedestrian walkways, etc. Ensure a traffic plan that takes into consideration both hospital needs and the surrounding business and residential needs. Siting analysis takes into consideration all types of traffic flows, in and out of the hospital. Separate routes have been established for ambulances, employees, patients, and delivery vehicles. Incorporate features that promote transportation alternatives to cars (walking, biking, etc.). Adjacent to planned Oriskany bikeway; designed for walkability around campus. Include time-to-destination estimates. Include a parking plan that considers both hospital needs and the surrounding business and residential needs. Close proximity of new garage and upgrades to Kennedy parking to hospital and auditorium; spaces available for general public. Additional surface parking. The remainder of these guiding principles apply to later stages of the project. Principle Consider the historic nature of buildings around the new hospital and how to blend them into the new cityscape. Consider both the old and the new aspects of Utica, including nearby landmark sites of Utica (Stanley, Union Station, etc.). Seek to preserve some buildings for other medical and business uses (adaptive reuse). Be supportive of development surrounding the campus; promote first-level business/retail space and upper-level housing space. Consider other urban redevelopment plans underway; integrate/enhance/help promote these other initiatives. In addition to involving community members, the process has also included numerous internal meetings that provided the project team with feedback from current hospital management, employees and medical staff. More than 90 user group conceptual planning sessions included participants from a broad cross-section of doctors, nurses and other medical support staff. These discussions have served as the basis for a separate set of precepts that will guide the interior design. MVHEALTHSYSTEM.ORG COMMUNITY@MVHEALTHSYSTEM.ORG Mohawk Valley Health System
