Construction of the new Wrangell Medical Center is continuing on schedule and on budget, according to an update provided by Sondra Forrester. According to the update, construction is ramping up as the crew size has increased to 45. A fire suppression and an additional drywall crew has joined the team. Several important parts of the construction process have been recently achieved.
Interior metal framing is complete in two of the four areas of the construction site, and most of the framing in the third area is complete. Electrical and mechanical rough-in work is complete in areas two and four, and in the long-term residents' rooms in area three. Walls in area four have been insulated, and painters are starting their work in this area.
"We have also moved into the Clinic Renovation phase of the project with the tie-in of the connecting corridor between the hospital and clinic as well as the installation of windows in the open office space located on the second floor of the clinic," the update reads.
Dawson Construction is working on "phase one" of the AICS clinic renovations. This phase is mainly focused on building the connection between the existing clinic and the new hospital. Phase two of this aspect of the project is scheduled to begin on June 15.
The next step in the project includes exterior siding for the building. This was originally planned to begin on May 4, according to the update, but was postponed so workers could focus on interior projects. Exterior concrete equipment pads and sidewalk prep work should begin sometime this month as well.
