Its main campus also includes Lakeside Pavilion, Alfred and Norma Lerner Tower and the Samuel Mather Pavilion.
Lerner Tower opened in February 1994 as a medical/surgical in-patient facility with 210 private rooms. The Department of Neurological Surgery shares its floor in Lerner Tower and a fourteen-bed intensive care unit with the Department of Neurology. The Mather Pavilion, which also opened in 1994, mainly houses adult operating rooms, outpatient suites and ancillary services. In 1997, University Hospitals was pleased to open Rainbow, Babies & Children Hospital building, Horvitz Tower. The Department of Neurological Surgery has four designated operating rooms, two of which are connected by an electrophysiology monitoring room and are fully equipped to perform microsurgical, stereotactic and endoscopic surgery. The Center for Emergency Medicine and the Marcy R.
