There will be two floors of underground parking and sterile processing. This will bring SCH bed total to 409, up from 200 before its expansion 2012 plan.
The helicopter landing pad has already moved temporarily to the roof of Forest A (176’), now known as Friends of Costco Building, Phase 1 of the expansion. The landing pad will be active for the next four years, until Building Care is completed Noise is expected to be louder than the former ground-based helipad. When Forest B is complete, the helistop will moves to its permanent location on top of the Friends of Costco Building (same height).
- Excavation
- Install “lagging” to prevent cave-ins during earthwork

- Form and pour concrete footing and wall
- Internal activities on L1 of Forest A: install hangers, pipes, firestops and seismic restraints for multiple water and air systems; core drilling in Forest stairwell #1; install infection prevention barriers; pour equipment pads
Construction noise will be generated throughout the week. The noisiest external work will be installing tie backs/anchors, which will take place all week. The noisiest internal work will be the core drilling and demolition.
Expect heavy truck traffic all week as excavated soil is hauled away from the site. Construction activity is weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions.
All work will take place within standard construction hours: 8-6pm and 9-6pm on Saturday.
