Project updates
Structural steel taking shape
It’s hard to miss the visible signs of our expanded Emergency Department and in-patient pavilion. Driving past, you can now see the framework for three floors rising up from the ground. Despite winter conditions, crews are working hard to meet critical project milestones.
Here are some of the latest construction updates:
- Erection of structural steel and decking are progressing rapidly, moving northward toward Elmwood Avenue.
- Concrete for the basement level has been completed.
- Steel is going around the canopy at the Emergency Department entrance for protection while construction continues around it.
- Underground chilled water has been installed, and heat and steam utility installation is underway.
- A permanent backup generator facility is being built south of Eastman Dental.
On December 30, hospital and University leaders walked through with the project team to see the latest progress and thank them for their ongoing work.
Looking ahead, a bright spot is knowing that the weather will be less of a factor by this time next year, as Kathy Parrinello, Strong’s CEO noted, “This is the last winter we have to worry about because next winter we’ll be indoors!”
