LVH–Cedar Crest Construction Update

Another Milestone Reached

Of the 5,700 pieces of steel framing the Kasych Family Pavilion, none was more symbolic than the one installed on June 22. “It marks the building’s highest structural point,” says facilities project manager Al Szoldatits. To celebrate, LVHHN hosted a “topping off” ceremony. Attendees, including President and CEO Elliot J. Sussman, M.D., and COO Lou Liebhaber, signed the beam before it was hoisted into place.

This month, the pavilion’s heating/air conditioning units and exterior panels will be installed. Also:

Pedestrian Bridge—Exterior panels, windows and a Big Blue H will be installed on the walkway connecting The Center for Advanced Health Care with the Cancer Center. Watch for ring road lane closures.

Parking Deck—The first of two new parking decks in front of the hospital will be completed by Oct. 1—three months sooner than expected!

Parking Lot 9—This lot will be paved and open in early August.

Main Entrance—The road leading to the main entrance will be closed on Aug. 31 at 8:30 p.m. for paving. Traffic will be directed to the valet lot. The new road will open on or before Sept. 4. This work is scheduled for Labor Day weekend because the volume of visitors is typically lighter.

Ring Road—A section of roadway in front of the Kasych Family Pavilion will soon be adjusted to make room for a new parking deck.
