Building Care, also called Forest B, of Phase 2 of Children's Hospital expansion is almost complete and this is the last installment of the Children's Hospital Construction Blog on this development.
The Construction Blog says:
This will be the last weekly update about upcoming Building Care construction activities. Work will continue within the building until spring 2022. We will continue to post to this blog whenever an activity will affect neighbors.
The 310,000 square-foot addition will add an eight-story building and will includes diagnostic and treatment facilities, primarily out-patient cancer and others) labs, new state-of-the-art operating rooms, 20 inpatient beds, and a lobby. 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 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 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).
The Hospital posted this information on their Construction Blog about specific construction activity this week:
Construction crews will continue building out interior spaces. Wood siding will be installed on the exterior of level 1 of Forest A near the staff entrance when the carpenters strike is resolved. All work will take place 8-6pm weekdays and 9-6pm on Saturdays.
