The Week of November 16, 2020 — Despite the Pandemic, “Our New Hospital is Basically Done.” — Richard H. Hart, MD, DrPH, President of Loma Linda Univesity
A sure sign (no pun intended) that a project is nearing completion is when the sign subcontractor arrives on-site to begin installing the building’s logo and companies name. Installation of the exterior signs for the LLUCTP started on October 28, 2020, and can be viewed by clicking the following link: The Exterior Architectural Signage Phase.
This week’s featured image is of the northeast corner of the Adult Hospital tower, sixteen stories above grade. I couldn’t pass up the chance to record this memorable event as the two installers, Johnathan and Albert, anchored the first three-letter section of what will be the two-line Loma Linda University Medical Center sign. Before leaning over the Balcony parapet to give Johnathan my camera, I took my helmet off to prevent it from falling from my head. As I directed Johnathan regarding the desired camera angles, I wasn’t aware he was capturing yours-truly.
The title for this week’s blog comes from the Thanksgiving 2020 “Notes from the President.” The paragraph specifically relating to the Loma Linda University Project (LLUCTP) and its transfer is reproduced below.
So, with this scheduled date (December 23, 2020) in mind, this blog will evolve into a project-completion format beginning with the week of November 23, 2020.
