Boone County Health Center

Another early round of cool, rainy weather has put a damper on the project.  However, the project still remains one week ahead of schedule despite the rain.  Block work to tie in the new ambulance garage to the main building was completed during the week of October 19^th.  Steel workers and welders worked throughout the drizzly to complete the roof on the new building.  The construction crew will continue to prioritize enclosing the building before winter.  Concrete for the main floor is scheduled to be poured as soon as the weather permits.

  Elsewhere, behind the medical clinic, crews have cleared away trees and the existing picnic shelter roof to make way for the site  work needed to be done for the new parking lot.  Again, weather permitting, work is moving along to ready the site for a new 40-stall parking lot for BCHC employees.  The parking lot will free up the existing Fairview lot, which will be used exclusively for patients and their families.  With any luck, the new lot behind the Albion Medical Clinic will be opened in early November.

 As cooler weather begins to come in, the construction team faces some new challenges. They also have some big goals acheived as the basement of the Phase III addition begins to take shape and the building becomes easily recognizable.

The Basement floor slab was poured and the steel reinforcments went in this past week. With that the construction site is giving onlookers a more clear picture of what BCHC has in store for the community in the coming years.
