The North and South Cannon Garages were demolished in early 2021 to make way for the new Inpatient Hospital.
Progress Continues on the New Inpatient Hospital
The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute appears in the background as South Cannon Garage demolition continues.
A crane installs green rebar for the construction of a wall inside the future inpatient hospital.
From the northwest corner of the site, facing eastward, crews install lower level building walls while demo continues in the background on the North Cannon Garage.
Heavy equipment continues to route materials into the site for foundation work.
Lower slabs for the elevator pits, stairs and elevator “cores” will soon begin to rise out of the ground.
Looking northward from the inpatient hospital lower level, crews continue progress on foundation preparations.
Large equipment pulls materials away from the site of the north and south cannon garage demolition work, which is anticipated to be complete by the end of March 2021.
The North and South Cannon Garages were demolished in early 2021 to make way for the new Inpatient Hospital.
Construction progress continues on the New Inpatient Hospital, which will provide up to 820 beds in private-room settings to elevate patient-centered care, safety and training for the next generation of physicians.
At the southern area of the site, located off of 10th Avenue, crews are installing caissons, which are deep foundations that allow the building to rest on bedrock approximately 60 feet below the ground floor. Earth retention has been installed along the north and west sides of the site to allow for the construction of retaining walls and lower level walls of the building. The first tower crane has been assembled to its initial height and it will continue to grow as the hospital progresses. A second tower crane is scheduled to be installed late February near 10th Avenue and Cannon Drive.
Demolition activities are underway on the Cannon Garages, with demolition expected to complete by the end of March.
