Week 93: More Interior Walls...
Week 93: More Interior Walls Going Up
Anticipate seeing more and more interior walls going up at the former St. Mary's Hospital site in North Knoxville as crews progress in repurposing the vacant buildings into the City's new Public Safety Complex.
Crews with Confidence Construction and Interstate Mechanical are, respectively, framing out LL2 in the Central Wing Annex and working on the mechanical rough-in on LL2.
The workers have moved to the next phase of the $62.3 million site makeover - building out new interiors in the shells of what had been the hospital's Professional Office Building, Central Wing Annex and Women's Pavilion buildings.
The City is investing $55.8 million to reconstruct the three former hospital buildings into new work spaces for the Knoxville Police Department, Fire Department and Pension System, and a new City Court will be built. Another $6.5 million has been allocated to raze the obsolete buildings on the north end of the site, which makes it ready for reuse as part of a future private redevelopment.
The iconic 1929 Building is being preserved and will anchor the north-end redevelopment.
Lincoln Memorial University in early 2021 began offering nursing programs in the Magdalen Clarke Tower.
And the City and County will be jointly converting the 25,000-square-foot former St. Mary's Ambulatory Surgery Center on the south end of the site into an urgent care and behavioral health facility.
Walls are being framed and interior work is progressing at the Central Wing Annex. Pictured here is the LL2 floor.
Meanwhile, here's the weekly rundown of some of the work happening at the Public Safety Complex.
Messer Construction has completed the footers for the new City Court building as well as the processing garages. Service One Electrical is working on the ground floor and LL1, and Interstate Mechanical is installing the air handling unit in the LL3 mechanical room.
Inside the Professional Office Building, which will house Police Department and City Court operations, Confidence Construction crews continue to hang one-side drywall on the seventh and eighth floors, while Del-Air Mechanical is hanging variable air volume (VAV) HVAC boxes on the same floors, working on the top floor rough in, and installing shower valves on the fifth floor.
