Installing Our Spire: The Main Architectural Feature

By Julie Ruiz-Wibbelsmann Checking the webcam, you may notice the unusual metal arch lying on the ground in front of the construction site. This is only one section of the 125-foot spire made of 43,000 pounds of steel set to be installed on the new hospital by the end of May. “Our steel spire was constructed over the course of 10 months by workers in Buffalo, New York,” says Krystal Herrington, DPR project engineer. “All of the steel was made in the ...

Photos of the Week

Looking Ahead to A Smoke-Free Campus

Cassandra Clark, Project Communications Director We recently held an Open House for employees to learn more about the new hospital construction and explore the layout of the new facility and campus. It was at this event that many staff members learned for the first time that, when the new hospital opens in 2013, the campus will be smoke free. A smoke-free campus means that smoking will not be allowed anywhere on the hospital property, including the grounds, gardens and parking areas, by ...
