89% of the way there!

Wow, it is hard to believe the new building will be wrapping up already by mid summer. In May, we will begin the final punch list of items to complete the construction and start with all of the necessary inspections. Then we will begin with the furnishings, licensure, and getting all of the medical and clinical equipment in place. Still a lot to be done, but amazing to be this close when we've been at it for just 30 weeks. Whew!

To date, the structural and the rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing are 100% finished. The crews are now working on the finish mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, and all of the interior details. On the outside, the roofing and siding are 90% complete, and the curb cuts and concrete have all been poured so the parking areas are ready for asphalt this spring. Now the Special Tree IT team will get going with making sure all of our networking and electronic hook ups are in place so we will have top notch technology running through our state-of-the-art center.

Specialty items are also being installed including our in-wall oxygen panel system, automatic doors, kitchen equipment, wander guard, nurse call system, and more.

Windows are going in!

Windows and interior walls are starting to make it all seem so real! Very exciting to get the windows installed and framing begun on the "inside" of the building. Excavators are working to install a water main in what will be the new staff parking lot; what a big project. The parking lots are taking shape as well as curbs are being installed.

Our construction hard hats are also off to our clients and therapy staff. What a great job you've done keeping your sense of humor while work is being done around the therapy area. Thanks for being such good sports!
