Altru, PCL/Community, a joint venture, JLG Architects and HPLEX are excited to report that the site planning and preparation for Altru’s new hospital is nearing completion, and work on the steel structure will soon resume.
“Over the past few months, our teams have been actively preparing the site, completing off-site fabrication and material preparation,” shares Jonathan Lowery, Area Manager at PCL/Community. “We are happy with our progress thus far and excited to continue the steel installation soon. The basement is currently being heated in preparation for recommencement of slab and steel placement during the winter months.”
Altru’s new hospital design includes seven floors, space for 226 licensed patient beds, a 16-bed observation unit and a focus on innovation, technology and a healing environment. It is slated to open in 2024.
“It is energizing to see the progress being made on our new hospital project,” shares Dr. Steven Weiser, President of Altru.” This facility symbolizes the growth and innovation ahead of us at Altru. We are grateful for the team on this project who have envisioned a state-of-the-art facility that will serve our region for generations to come.”
