While touring through the new
addition, you’ll see hard-hatted construction crews buzzing around tirelessly
to beat the September 30 deadline for completion of this new space. That’s the
date we need to have our occupancy permit by as a stipulation of the $6 million
grant from the Affordable Care Act. We are well on track though, thanks to the
diligence of JK Scanlan’s team, our Building Committee, and our wonderful partners from the Town of Mashpee.

Cabinetry and wall mounted
computer stations are now in the exam rooms. Final coats of paint have been completed
in the exam rooms as well. The stair railing systems are going in and the large
skylight has been uncovered.

“It looks great,” said Building
Committee Member and CIO, Katy O’Connell, “lots of natural light pouring in now
from the roof all the way to the ground floor. And thankfully no rain
pouring in!”
The feature wall, which is made
of up different colored panels, is being built below the skylight.
The retaining wall has now been completed
on the east side of the building. There is still plenty to be done, but staff
and patients alike are excited to move into their new space and that day is
getting close!

Construction crews will be breaking through that far end of the hallway into the existing building in a couple of weeks to finally connect the two buildings. |
