The Week of January 6, 2020 — The Galleria and Main Entrance Area, the Emergency Generator Site, and 2019 Loose Ends
With the new year, the construction continues. On the outside, much of the work will be done below the height of the safety walls that surround the construction site. From a distance, one will see the upper third of the Galleria and Main Entrance canopy as they go up on the north side of the Adult Hospital tower. Soon the windows will be installed on the west side connecting bridge, which ties the new hospitals to the existing Medical Center. In a few weeks, after a few of the inside elevators are operational, the aerial lift on the east side of the Adult Hospital tower will be taken down and the rest of the cladding will be installed. Cladding will be installed on the Schuman Pavilion elevator tower. In the interior of the building, the buildout continues, as various rooms are finished on different floors, millwork, other furnishings, and equipment will be brought in and installed.
With the site work done on the Emergency Generator site, various subcontractors are laying the necessary underground pipes before the rebar goes in and the concrete pad is poured.
As the project marches closer to completion, this blog will continue to document the construction until the day of the ribbon-cutting. Stay tuned, check-in often and tell a friend about this website.
