A new medical office building at Baton Rouge General Medical Center’s Bluebonnet campus has been approved for $30 million in GO Zone bonds. The bond money was approved to build and equip the 85,000-square-foot building, which will be built on Picardy Avenue. The medical office building is expected to create 200 permanent jobs and 300 temporary construction jobs, according to information filed with the bond commission. The timetable for construction has not been announced; Baton Rouge General officials did not respond to phone calls and e-mails. This project would continue a construction boom at Baton Rouge hospitals: Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center started work on a $200 million expansion; and Woman’s Hospital is building a new campus at Airline Highway and Pecue Lane, set to open in fall 2012.
