The demolition of the old hospital will actually proceed more like a "deconstruction." The proximity of the old hospital to the new building prevents us from using any method such as an implosion. And because our goal is to recycle virtually all of the old hospital building, workers will use the deconstruction process similar to that used to take down Laurel Grove Hospital. This allows us to recycle metal, wood, plastic, concrete, fiber, virtually all of the old building, with minimal disruption to the new building and occupants. So, you can still have a demolition party and view the slower process of the old hospital being torn down, but it will have to be without any explosions! Great question, and great idea for a party!
