Sonny & Sophia Zetmeir Health Science Building

Update 01/18/2013

Recently we have seen substantial progress made in the building construction. The second floor slab was poured December 19th. The structural steel was completed and inspected today. The masons are onsite and bricks are beginning to go up. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work are all going on inside the building.

The light poles will be going up in the West parking lot soon, but will not have power to them until the transformer is in place for the building. Demolition and reconstruction of the parking lot East of the building has been postponed in order to use this area for material and equipment storage.

Crossland is being environmentally friendly in the construction of the building which will help us in achieving a LEED certification. LEED recycling dumpsters for metal, concrete, and wood are onsite to divert construction waste from the landfill.

Next week the roofing will begin. At this point the project is ahead of schedule, thanks to good weather and dedicated construction workers. If the weather continues to cooperate the building should be dried in (totally enclosed so the weather won't hinder the construction) by mid-March.
Thank you,

George Knox
