STAMFORD — Stamford Hospital’s plans for a new cancer center, expanded behavioral health facility, and a new multilevel parking garage have taken a major step forward following the Planning Board’s approval of a zoning change and special permit tied to the hospital’s proposed redevelopment. The $275 million project will substantially reshape the hospital’s Bennett Medical Center campus to include construction of a new 73,000-square-foot cancer center — more than double the size of the hospital’s existing cancer center — and an accompanying 355-space parking structure. Both will be built on the southwest corner of the hospital grounds near West Broad Street and Stillwater Avenue. The hospital’s behavioral health services, in turn, will be relocated to the existing cancer center adjacent to the primary hospital structure once the new cancer center is complete. The additional parking will be offset slightly by the elimination of some other existing spaces that will give way to the new construction. Still, the combined work will result in a net increase of available spaces from the current 1,400 spaces to approximately 1,700 once the project is complete.
