PM Update Happy Summer Everyone! Although the fun and the heat remains, this happy season is unfortunately flying by! Thankfully, on a similar pace, our progress on the 9th floor renovation continues to thrive. In our last update we had wrapped up phase 1 and were well underway with phase 2. I am pleased to report today that phase 2 was delivered on time and is now assisting with “deliveries” of its own. These 10 post-partum rooms, and related support areas, are all currently occupied and fully operational. Now on to phase 3, temporary walls have been constructed and demolition is nearly complete. Crews have been busy capping, cutting, removing walls, chipping out flooring, taking down ceilings and essentially stripping the space to its original structure. Following demo, we will be laying out walls and tying in systems from the 8th floor. As mentioned in the previous Inside Scoop, it is a complex task to tie in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing from the operating 8th floor. Areas will need to be shut down on the 8th floor as crews work section by section cutting holes in the 9th floor slabs, running new drain lines, adding/adjusting duct work, building fire rated shafts, getting inspections and then reconstructing everything back to its original state. This activity is very time consuming and critical to the overall schedule. While it is only the beginning, we are looking forward to this final stage which will mark the completion of construction on the 9th floor. Brett Lesiewicz Project Manager brettl@elzinga-volkers.com
