LVH–Cedar Crest Construction Update

You Help Create the Perfect Hospital

Recently, colleagues began touring “mock rooms” in the 1247 building. They look like the “real” patient care rooms that will be built at the new LVH–Cedar Crest, but there’s still time for improvement.

During each tour, colleagues evaluate the room design. “They comment on the space that’s available for caregivers, patients and families,” says facilities project manager Dan Winkler. They look at the location of the TV, clock and lighting fixtures. Even the colors of the floor, wall and window treatments are evaluated.

“When tours are complete, your ideas are considered and changes are made to the blueprints before the real rooms are built,” Winkler says. With your input, our expansion project will create the ideal environment for colleagues, patients and visitors. If you are a caregiver interested in taking a tour, let your unit’s nursing director know.

HERE’S WHERE “REAL” CONSTRUCTION WILL BE TAKING PLACE THIS MONTH:

Parking Lot B (in front of the Jaindl Pavilion)—To prepare for construction of a new parking deck, this lot is closed. Remind patients and visitors to use free valet parking.

Kasych Family Pavilion—About 80 percent of the steel is in place for the wing facing I-78. When complete, 1,800 tons of steel will frame the entire pavilion.

Center for Advanced Health Care (formerly the Center for Ambulatory Medicine)—The windows are in and the roof is on. Electrical and plumbing work continues while heating/air conditioning units are installed.

Ring Road—While water and sanitation lines are being installed, drive slowly and pay attention to traffic patterns. When walking through campus, use pedestrian crosswalks.
