A bit too soggy for exterior work this afternoon |

Scanlan is scheduled to begin work on the openings/connections between the
existing and new buildings in the next couple of weeks. We have will have 2 hallways connecting the buildings. This means there will
be some relocating of exam and counseling rooms temporarily, but minimal overall disruption as it is scheduled to take place over the weekend.
Last weekend power
was completely shut off at the Health Center and electricians were successful
in tying the new building’s power into the existing building. Over the weekend
pipes to connect the sprinkler system for the new building were also run back
to the mechanical room in the existing building. We will be coordinating a
future date when the pipes will be connected, which will require shutting off
water and flushing the pipes out. Gas is the last utility that still needs to
be connected between the existing building and the addition.
Inside
the expansion, ceramic tile is being installed this week in the bathrooms,
cabinets are going in next week, and drywall is up throughout most of the
building.
“Things
are cruising along and we are still on target for September for the certificate of
occupancy and opening for patients in October,” said Katy O’Connell, CHC Chief
Information Officer and Building Committee Member.
