Construction On Inova Hospital In Springfield To Begin In 2024: Report

SPRINGFIELD, VA — Inova Health System is hoping to begin construction on its new hospital in Springfield later this year, according to a report.

The $612 million hospital will be located next to Inova’s existing Springfield HealthPlex.

Inova has filed building permits for the new Springfield hospital as well as a new Alexandria hospital at the former Landmark Mall site, The Washington Business Journal reported.

Inova expects to begin construction at both the Springfield and Landmark sites in the third quarter of this year, Inova Realty President Tom McDuffie told The Washington Business Journal.

In 2023, Inova received approval from the Virginia Department of Health to build the new hospital. The certificate of public need from the VDH came after the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in 2022 approved Inova's land-use applications to build the new hospital.

Construction on the new hospital is scheduled for completion in 2028.

During construction of the new hospital, patients will have access to the emergency Room, physical therapy, physician offices, and other clinical operations at the Franconia-Springfield HealthPlex, according to Inova.

This hospital will serve as one of two replacement hospitals for the current Inova Alexandria Hospital on Seminary Road. The other location will be at the new hospital at the former Landmark Mall, now called WestEnd Town Center.

The new hospital campus will include nearly 2 acres of urban park space with walking trails and benches available for public use. Inova also said it has designed the campus to maximize preservation of mature trees along the north side of the property and near the intersection of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway and Beulah Street.
