Nearly 1,000 workers are at the site daily as they construct the 1.9 million-square-foot hospital.

    • Framing and mechanical rough in work is taking place on various levels.
    • First floor framing is wrapping up while some drywall and painting has begun.
    • Work on the main curtain wall, expected to be complete by early July.
    • All air handling units are installed.
    • Façade work is currently up to level 21.
    • Mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-ins for some patient rooms continue.
