Week 15: Crews Tackling Central Annex, A Wing, C Wing

Seven companies have teams spread out across the former St. Mary's Hospital, handling everything from mass interior demolition of Central Annex floors to recovering refrigerant from cooling units to removing the canopy over the old emergency entrance.

"The contractors are working efficiently, and we're on schedule for where we should be for Week 15," said Jonathan Grammer, Assistant Vice President with Volkert Inc., the City's representative for the $40 million project to transform the vacant hospital campus into a new Public Safety Complex.
