The Malone Family Tower (MFT) is an eight-story addition to MaineHealth Maine Medical Center’s historic campus in Portland, Maine. It marks the culmination of a decade-long initiative to improve access to hospital-based care, increase the number of private rooms, and support better patient outcomes.
As the hospital approaches 150 years of service, it faced the challenge of remaining on its original site while addressing aging infrastructure, inefficient space, and a shortage of surgical beds. To meet the needs of Portland’s growing and aging population—particularly in cardiac care—it expanded with the Malone Family Tower, which includes 40 pre- and post-surgical beds, 19 procedure rooms, and 96 universal patient rooms.
Maine's rugged coastline, with its rocky shores, dense forests, and pristine waters, served as the inspiration for this structure’s design and materials. A striking, faceted facade gives way to a soaring seven-story atrium that seamlessly links the public concourse, clinical spaces, and lounges. This central atrium serves as the heart of the building, unifying all seven levels, filling the interiors with natural light, and transforming enclosed areas into open, welcoming spaces.
Join us and expand on your clinical skills and knowledge across multiple specialties while feeling the pride of being part of a dynamic team!
