May 2nd – Moving to the interior
A look into a patient room from the corridor
Since the Winter snow has given way to May sun and warmth, it’s allowing work to progress much more smoothly. During the cold months the crew spent their time working in the relative warmth of the space heaters getting the interior planned and put together. Now that the cold is giving way, the interior itself is starting to show off its more refined and finished look.
Without any furniture yet, the rooms are looking spacious, with the bed being near the center of the room and able to be wheeled into place with all of the nessesary connection at hand. The other side of the room will contain most of the deskspace for flowers and gifts, as well as a pass-through closet that allows the staff to restock linens and other supplies without having to enter the room and distrub the patient.

All in all, the rooms are looking really good and the finished product is almost done. With a few minor addition and systems to be installed in the rooms and the surrounding infrastructure, the addition should be ready to go.
But, as I stated at the top, since the warmth and the sun has arrived, it has opened the door to new phasets of the project that can be worked on. One of them being the location of the new helipad. I’m sure everyone has seen the large red “+” on the main entrance drive.

With the pending completion of the new permanent helipad, the need for a temporary closing of the drive will be aliviated. As well as, the re-opening of the parking spaces that have been closed off to make room for the helicopter.
