The St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic campus is really taking shape, from top to bottom.  In honor of that spirit, we’re going to show you what projects crews are working on all the way from the roof down to the lower-most levels of structures!

Careful: this might make you dizzy!  It’s a great view from the top of the central staircase of the hospital. That’s right, someone had to climb all those stairs just to snap the picture! But once they did, they were treated to some amazing work occuring on both the hospital’s roof and the clinic’s roof!

Dean Clinic will soon be in “tip-top” shape, no pun intended.  The clinic roof is being prepared to receive a ballasted rubber roofing system. We can show you what that will look like! Before…

…After!  Above you can see Gary Brown Roofing employees installing rubber ballasted roof on the top of the hospital.  The clinic will soon follow suit.

Cranes will soon hoist these HVAC cooling towers from their staging place on the ground up to the rooftop to keep the buildings cool during a summer just like the one we are experiencing now!

What else can you see from the roof?  The first layer of asphalt on the entrance to our parking lot.  Here you see the main drive on your right, the clinic parking lot on left and a parking spot with your name on it!  (Ok, that might take a bit longer, but…)

Do you remember when we showed you the footings for the canopy at the main entrance?  Here they are!

Several months later, we now have front canopy steel being erected over the footings, giving the future main entrance greater shape!

The masonry on the outside of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital Chapel is a different type of stone.  Beautiful white stone envelopes the wall next to chapel near front entry of the hospital. It’s breathtaking!

On the fourth floor of the hospital, metal wall partitions are being installed.

J.P. Cullen & Sons workers operate several concrete finishers working on the third floor of Dean Clinic.  Two workers are riding on power-operated taulers.  A bowl float smooths concrete in foreground of this picture. 

What does fireproofing a building entail, exactly? Here crews are fireproofing the third floor of the hospital’s bed wing. Plastic helps prevent any overspray of material. 

This is an underground electrical conduit, which runs from the hospital’s electrical room to other areas of the hospital along its garden level.  It is indeed a river of wires!

Thank you for taking time to view our progress pictures and read all about the latest projects within the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic!  Feel free to tell us what you think below!

If you’re afraid of heights, be careful taking in the view from this bird’s eye perspective! Our cameras captured an entire masonry crew hard at work, helping make the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic look better brick-by-brick.

The masonry crew of J.P. Cullen & Sons is now laying brick at three elevations at once, up the side of the hospital.

You can see more progress, as an entire side of brick has been completed on the left in the picture above.

To help, crews put two large pre-mixed mortar hoppers on the ground below to assist with the brick laying. 

At the same time, more J.P. Cullen & Sons crews were hard at work on the roof of the building.  This concrete crew was pouring roof slab on the second floor of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital using an extremely long concrete pump.

This wide-angle view gives you a better idea of how both the masonry and concrete were being worked on simultaneously. You can see the brick being laid toward the bottom of the photo.  Meantime, this extra-long concrete pump had the convenient ability of being able to transport the mixture to the far side of the building.

Check back soon for more pictures of our brick exterior and the landscaping being done on the grounds surrounding the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic! As always, we appreciate your comments and welcome your questions below.

Just whistle while you weld!  This J.P. Cullen & Sons  iron worker is welding down Nelson (sheer) studs. It is one of many things happening on the “inside” of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic construction project. We are pleased to take you on an updated “mini-tour” of the inner workings occuring this month.

In the pictures above and below, H.J. Pertzborn can be seen starting its project of underground plumbing for the hospital. The H.J. Pertzborn crew above was installing “under slab” plumbing at the lowest level within the future hospital.

It can get hot and humid in Wisconsin, especially in months like July.  Still, the winter can bring bitter cold. That’s why an energy-efficient heating and cooling system is being installed in the hospital and clinic. The picture below shows the top floor of the hospital, upon which crews are setting a frame for an HVAC air-handling unit.

Taking the stairs from the top floor is always easier with railings!  Below, you can see Dean Clinic’s “monumental stair with railings,” which is now complete.  The monumental title isn’t official; it just means it will be one of the main staircases within the clinic.

The St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic continue their green construction campaign with a site-wide recycling program.  Multiple recycling bins are available with easy access so that crews can sort construction material such as metal, wood, cardboard and masonry into bins like the ones below.

The materials available for recycling can really add up by the end. It is just one more way Dean & St. Mary’s is able to do its part for the environment.

Lastly, we give you a glance of the outside of the hospital and clinic! What is longer in this picture–the crane on the right or the concrete pump on the left?

Stretching across this picture is a far-reaching concrete pump sending mixture over to the far side of the second floor of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital.  Next to it, the tall J.P. Cullen & Sons’ crane is busy setting wall panels on the future Dean Clinic!

Check back in just a few days for the first pictures of our brick exterior and the masonry work being done on the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic! As always, we appreciate your comments and welcome your questions below.

With the Interstate-90 cloverleaf in the distance, construction crews with a lot of talent and a little luck are making headway on what will become the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic Town Square area with garden.  On the bottom right of this picture, you can make out the area cleared for that square.  You can also see Dean Clinic steel and the clinic elevator tower on the right. 

These J.P. Cullen & Sons masonry workers are performing their jobs mid-air, so-to-speak, working on the new Dean Clinic elevator tower!

We also wanted to give you an updated aerial view.  This view is looking East from the fourth floor of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital bed tower.  You can see our construction trailers and two detention ponds. One of these man-made ponds was intentionally heart-shaped for a very loving and compassionate aerial view. Views from high atop the tower or from the MedFlight pad will include the view of the pond.

Two more photographs here capture views of both the mechanical rooftop screen (above) as well as a view from the hospital’s third floor looking back towards the clinic (below).

More progress on the hospital and clinic will be visible in the weeks to come.  We’ll bring you those pictures as soon as we can. Check back often for the latest.  Thank you for visiting and as always, tell us what you think below!

April showers bring May flowers as what is in the ground makes its way up towards the sky!  So does the progress on the Dean Clinic and St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital. Work both below the surface and up above is well underway this spring.

The first and second floor steel is up on the East end of the new Dean Clinic near a  future joint Town Square which will link both the hospital and clinic.

Eventually, you will be greeted by a large canopy as you walk through the central entrance.  These are the cement footings for our soon-to-be canopy columns.

My, that’s high! It is the central elevator tower for Dean Clinic.  Right now, masonry work is being completed on the tower using a mobile scaffolding system.

These almost look like outdoor art installations.  Actually, they are our steel door frames for the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital ambulance garage, pre-erected ahead of the masonry block.

Just as a plant’s roots route water toward itself underground, so too must we route water by installing our underground plumbing lines!   These will serve the first floor of the hospital near its laboratory area.

More progress on the hospital and clinic will be visible in the days and weeks to come.  We’ll bring you those pictures as soon as we can! Check back often for the latest.  Thank you for visiting and as always, tell us what you think below.

Major projects involving the plumbing and fireproofing of the St. Mary’s Janesville hospital are underway!  This is a bird’s eye view looking west at the foundation of the new Dean Clinic from the fourth floor of the hospital bed tower. You can also see JP Cullen & Sons masonry crew working on the east stair tower of the clinic.

Here, plumbers are installing floor drains on the first floor of the hospital area in order to prepare for the concrete floor pour.

The view looking out on Rock County is gorgeous from the fourth floor of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hosiptal bed tower. This will be the view looking east from patient rooms.

You can officially get your excerise in!  Take the stairs inside our newly-completed south hospital stairwell.

Heads up! Martineau & Morris Co. is working on fireproofing the hospital by spraying its perimeter of steel prior to the installation of the structure’s wall panels. I’d imagine that’s a difficult job when it’s windy outside!  Thank you Martineau & Morris Co.

More progress on the hospital and clinic will be visible in the weeks to come.  We’ll bring you those pictures as soon as we can! Check back often for the latest.  Thank you for visiting and as always, tell us what you think below!

New this week, cranes lifted huge steel beams on the construction site.  Once in place, these beams will shape the structure for the new Dean Clinic in Janesville!

Last month, the footings and foundation were put in place for the clinic.  Now a number of steel beams are in place.  With this view of the beams, you see the hospital in the background!  Soon, we’ll be able to show you walls!

More progress on the clinic will be visible in the weeks to come.  We’ll bring you those pictures as soon as we can! Check back often for the latest.  Thank you for visiting and as always, tell us what you think below!

We are looking forward to welcoming you as you enter through the front doors of the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic. Until then, we’ve got a welcome sight to share with you– the Main Entry to the campus!

One part of the building process that many enjoy is the chance to see the future aesthetic “look” of the exterior of the building. Above, you can see a small example of some of the brick choices that will likely be used on the outside of the hospital and clinic.

One of the last steps in preparing the foundation walls is to waterproof and insulate them. This is a front-facing view of our foundation walls with waterproofing materials and insulation visible here. The foundation walls are very nearly complete!

Before the materials are raised up, they must be sorted, laid out and labeled in appropriate piles!  Phase one is already complete.  Now this steel will be used for Phase Two of our building project for the hospital side of the campus. Phase Two should be underway shortly!

This view might make even the tallest person feel small! These central stair and elevator towers are complete and ready to be sandwiched within more steel.  This is also part of our Phase Two steel construction, underway shortly.

And finally, we leave you with a photograph that captures the beauty of Janesville at sunrise.  The St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic are captured here in silhouette, with a beautiful sunrise in the East. If you’re ever driving near us early in the morning, consider checking it out in person!

As always, thank you for checking back on our site.  We will post additional pictures as soon as we can! Please share with us what you think so far below.

It’s a picturesque view from the East towards the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital bed tower.  All four floors of steel, part of Phase 1 of our construction, are nearly completed!

Some of the masonry block work is already underway!  What you see here shows the work being done for a low-rise so-called “dirty” elevator that will travel from surgery to central sterile.

There are three phases to the steel work being done on the hospital.  Phase I steel shown here will contain the Imaging Department.  This view looking South gives you a glimpse of all four stories of its steel skeleton, the fourth of which was just completed prior to Easter. On the third and fourth floors, the workers are preparing to spread metal decking for the future floor system. Phase 2 includes steel that will wrap around our central core elevators.  Phase 3 Steel will house our diagnostic wing!

Above, J.P. Cullen workers are lowering column reinforcing steel into concrete forms for the central elevator and stair tower.

We told you about our “dirty elevator,” named such only because it travels from surgery to central sterile.  Above is our “clean” elevator, which will travel between central sterile to surgery.

Now this is a neat picture!  It is the Southwest corner of the new Dean Clinic’s foundation.  One day, this corner will house our Physical Therapy Department and our water service room.

Lastly, our wonderful J.P. Cullen concrete workers can been seen forming the East stairwell and elevator for Dean Clinic. Check back often for more pictures as spring brings us great construction weather!  Don’t forget to tell us what you think by writing us below!
