Piedmont Fayette Tower Project to Temporarily Change Entrances

Fayetteville, Ga. (January 15, 2026) – Piedmont Fayette Hospital will begin construction on a $275 million expansion project on Feb. 2. The project will transform the hospital’s campus and will change how some patients and visitors enter and exit the hospital, especially as things get started.

The new construction will consist of approximately 218,250 square feet with an additional 31,304 square feet of existing space being renovated. It will take place near the current West Entrance, which is the entrance furthest from Ga. Hwy 54. 

For the first seven weeks of construction, the West Entrance will be closed, and patients needing to reach areas closest to that entrance should enter at the Cole Family Plaza. When the West Entrance re-opens, it will be open to ambulatory patients but closed to vehicular traffic. Patients will receive additional information as they near their scheduled appointments.

“We are excited to start construction so that we can continue to offer more comprehensive clinical services to meet the growing needs of this community, closer to home,” said Steve Porter, CEO of Piedmont Fayette. “Our leadership team and staff have been working diligently to make navigating the campus for our patients and visitors as easy, and as safe, as possible.” 

Construction on the tower is expected to be completed by 2028 with additional renovations being completed by 2030.
