And the wall came down...

The ER waiting room temporary wall has come down!!!

Construction continues to move forward but at least starting tomorrow, patients and guests will be able to sit in a waiting room, and not the hall ways.

Movin right along!

So our ER construction is moving right along. flooring has gone in along with the starting of cabinets and counter tops. I am going limit my comments and just post some pictures, because it is exciting to see it all take shape.

Heat when we need it

The ER vestibule is being equipped with a new drop ceiling and heat blowers. This will be a welcome change for people coming in the ER entrance when the wind is blowing from the north. Along with the radiant heat in the sidewalk in front of the entrance, it will make for a more pleasant way to enter the building. Looking through the windows from the vestibule to the new waiting room you can see cabinets for the various new treatment rooms are stacked on the floor waiting for installation this week.

Home Improvement

The plumbing tie-in to the main sewer line was completed last week. This week workers are in the new edition tiling the new shower rooms--one specifically for decontamination from exposure to hazardous substances or materials. Cabinets for the Trauma room have arrived, and flooring installation should begin next week. New exterior and vestibule doors into the ER are almost done, just in time for more snow.
