Jersey Shore's $235 million expansion includes a new bed pavilion, diagnostic and treatment building, renovations to clinical and outpatient areas, a new parking garage, and other infrastructure improvements. In the new five-story bed tower, patient care units are organized in the "neighborhoods" of 12 private rooms. Among other things, Jersey Shore plans to measure the impact of this layout on walking distances for nurses.

Additionally, because departments such as ED and Cardiology are completely relocating from an existing facility to the new pavilion, it provides an excellent opportunity for baseline research to measure the effectiveness of the new building design. WHR Architects is the architectural firm.
