November 21, 2012 Project Update The design team has been mee ng with departments that s ll need to do some tweaking in order to complete schema c design on the project. One of the departments that we have been working closely with is Radiology. There have been several side mee ngs that have taken place and we are ge ng a lot of good informa on from the people that will be working directly in this facility. With this informa on and par cipa on we will be able to ensure that proper work flow and layout has been taken into considera on. In past couple of weeks it has been decided that there needs to be a LEAN event solely dedicated to the work flow of the building and specifically to the second floor Virginia Mason model. This event will be held in December so the design team is holding off proceeding forward with the interior un l this event takes place. We have also received pricing back from subcontractors based on the SD deliverables. EV & Concord have been comparing budgets and reconciling differences to ensure that Spectrum is ge ng an accurate budget update. We have also been genera ng poten al ways to save the project money that will be presented in the upcoming weeks. On the subject of finances we have received approval by the Spectrum Health Medical Group & Spectrum Health Hospital Group Finance Commi ees. With this approval from both of these commi ees we will be seeking approval from the SHMG, SHHG & Spectrum Health System Boards. Dus n Kuzee Project Manager dkuzee@elzinga‐volkers.com
THANKSGIVING FACTS
The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tradi on began in the 1920's.
In 1939, President Roosevelt proclaimed that Thanksgiving would take place on November 23rd, not November 30th, as a way to spur economic growth and extend the Christmas shopping season.
Congress to passed a law on December 26, 1941, ensuring that all Americans would celebrate a unified Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November every year.
Since 1947, the Na onal Turkey Federaon has presented a live turkey and two dressed turkeys to the President. The President does not eat the live turkey. He "pardons" it and allows it to live out its days on a historical farm.
In the US, about 280 million turkeys are sold for the Thanksgiving celebra ons.
Each year, the average American eats somewhere between 16 - 18 pounds of turkey.
Californians are the largest consumers of turkey in the United States.
Although, Thanksgiving is widely considered an American holiday, it is also celebrated on the second Monday in October in Canada.

Project Forecast In the upcoming weeks the design team will be focusing on the civil, core & shell package of the building. With the overall design on some of the floors being dependent on the December LEAN event, the exterior of the building is an area that we can con nue to work on. We will be confirming that the materials at 588 E Lakewood are the same materials that we will be using at the ICC Beltline. The design team will be working closely with Spectrum to help select the proper team that needs to approve items such as this. We will also be focusing on the budget over the next few weeks. There is a need to iden fy any poten al gaps right now so that they can be forecasted accurately. This is a cri cal task and will be controlled throughout the project.
