ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — Ascension Seton Williamson in Round Rock is about to undergo major expansion efforts.

The hospital on Tuesday announced a $230 million expansion, which will “meet the needs of the growing Round Rock area,” according to a press release.

The expansion will include a six-story tower of 216,000 square feet which will house new operating rooms and additional bed capacity.

This will be a substantial expansion of the Seton hospital at A.W. Grimes and University in Round Rock. They've also been actively expanding the St. David's hospital on 620 and are working on the Baylor Scott & White at University and Mays. Lot of work in the area.
