Mild Weather has allowed construction of the Cascade Medical Center’s new facilities to continue un-hampered as Levernier Construction moves forward toward completion of the 1st Phase addition.

To date, much of the addition’s structural work is nearing completion with fire proofing of the structural elements anticipated to commence mid-month. All floors have been poured with exception of the lower level ambulance bay; all mechanical air handling units have been set in the lower level and at the mezzanine. Stairs at both ends of the addition are nearly complete. The Mechanical and Electrical subcontractors are currently in the process of laying out of ductwork, and installing plumbing infrastructure and electrical branch conduits.

As weather improves, you will be able to see the installation of exterior wall framing and sheathing as well as roof installation.

The District anticipates installation of various hospital related systems commencing mid-July of this year. Installation of furnishings and equipment is scheduled for the latter part of August with anticipated occupancy of the new clinic and acute area by early September.

Following completion of Phase 1 and the District’s move-in, Levernier will commence Phase 2 which involves renovations and modernization to the lower and main levels of the existing hospital facility, addition of the main entry/lobby and Bavarian upgrades along Commercial Street. Phase 3 will follow shortly thereafter and will include renovations of the existing hospital adjacent Commercial Street to house the new Physical Therapy, Therapy Pool and Laboratory Facilities.
