The featured image for this post–a bridge over the main drive to the entrance of the Medical Center–symbolically connects the new with the old. Although the new structures are referred to as the Adult and Children’s replacement Hospitals, there will be services (too numerous to name in this post) provided in the old section. The installation of the Schuman Pavilion Pedestrian bridge marks the beginning of the project phase that will, over the next year, change the face to the entrance of the hospital campus. By the time the new hospital opens the entrance to the hospital campus will flow to the north side of the new hospital to the new main entrance called the Galleria canopy, where patients and visitors will enter the lobbies for the adult and children patients.
The Schuman Pavilion Pedestrian Bridge
What was euphemistically called the Schuman Pavilion Pedestrian bridge while sitting in the north yard as the ironworkers built the steel frame for the bridge, is now officially a bridge as it has been installed over the main entrance to the Medical Center. With this addition, the face of the existing Medical Center entrance and its towers have been forever changed.

In addition to the installation of the Schuman Pavilion Pedestrian bridge, a work crew was on-site Saturday night removing sections of the sidewalk where a new canopied (required for safety reasons) walkway will be installed. To allow for the ongoing construction of the Schuman Pavilion Pedestrian bridge, the patient/visitor curbside dropoff turnaround will end before the bridge crosses over the road. It is anticipated that the change will take effect on Monday, September 30, 2019. This will be the first of several changes that will occur during the next year as the construction process will begin transitioning from the existing patient/visitor curbside dropoff turnaround to a new area east of the current entrance to a new entrance called the Galleria, which will be located on the north side of the new Adult Hospital tower.
