January 4, 2021 — The Installation of Furniture Begins

Although the featured image does not look too exciting at first blush, in reality, the project has reached a new phase: The installation of furniture. The Children’s Emergency Room drop-off and parking area is being used as the unloading and staging area for the furniture. This interior phase of the project is under the supervision of the owner, Loma Linda University Health. It is exciting to see the furniture being delivered. Level “A” is the first floor to receive furniture. There is a delivery crew that takes the furniture from the staging area to a staging area on the designated floor. From there, an installer will take the furniture pieces to the assigned room where it will be installed.
