As we say goodbye to Fiscal Year 2012, we look ahead to an
exciting FY2013 and all that it will entail. Interior construction progress
ramped up on the Health Center’s new addition this week. The 22,000 sq/ft space
is weather tight now with all the windows in place. Crews began installing
drywall in the main (top) floor on Tuesday and also poured the concrete for the
staircases this week.
Next week, the building team will be digging a trench for
the gas line to the new building next to the existing back deck. Access from
the deck to the front of the building will be impacted off and on, but they
will try to keep a metal support over the trench to allow for egress in case of
emergency. The permanent electricity to the new building is scheduled to be
brought in on July 28. This will require a power outage over the weekend. In
about two weeks, exterior insulation will go over the black surface, and after
that siding and trim will start going on the outside.
It’s definitely all coming together now, and we are very
proud to report an expected completion with certificate of occupancy by
September 12. Please stay tuned as we announce some upcoming dates of interest,
including National Health Center Week in August and the Grand Opening and
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony later this fall.
