LVH–Cedar Crest Construction Update

Are We There Yet?

“Rome wasn’t built in a day.” It’s a saying that means it takes time to create great things. Such is the case at LVH–Cedar Crest. “Twenty-one months into the expansion project, we’re right on schedule,” says project manager Al Szoldatits.

The first of two new parking decks in front of the hospital opened in early January. Patients and visitors will use the top floor. Valet will use the ground floor. “The pedestrian bridge also is complete, and design work continues inside The Center for Advanced Health Care,” Szoldatits says.

The new seven-story tower also is on schedule. The first three floors are scheduled to be complete in December 2007, with construction on floors four through six wrapping up a few months later. Here’s an update:
