A crane maneuvers one of our latest forms into place. Work is now being done on the concrete walls of the future St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital stair tower!
In this picture, J.P. Cullen & Sons iron workers are tying reinforcing steel (rebar) into concrete walls for the hospital’s stair tower.
In the picture below, J.P. Cullen & Sons concrete finishers pour column footings for what will become the canopy hanging over the front entryway for the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital.
They’ve become familiar fixtures on the construction site! Lycon concrete trucks are now lined up to pour foundation concrete.
Check back soon as we show you mock-ups of the brick and stonework we’ll be using for the exterior walls! Each week we’re proud to bring you exciting new pictures from our contruction site and future home of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic in Janesville. And don’t forget to share your thoughts below! We’d love to hear from you.
The foundation has been poured and the walls are on their way up as construction is moving forward by leaps and bounds on the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic in Janesville!
Above is the corner of the hospital foundation, next to what will be considered the “Town Square,” where the hospital and clinic meet in the middle! The Town Square will house the Dean Pharmacy, Davis Duehr Dean Optical, gift shops and a place to grab a cup of coffee or bite to eat.
The reinforcing steel cast is visible above. Just to the left you can see how the steel cast disappears inside the newly-poured concete walls.
Even with the snow on the ground in January, the construction site is constantly buzzing with backhoes, trucks, cranes and other equipment.
Here you see the bracing and scaffolding for the future walls, secured within the hospital’s foundation.
Ever wonder how you prepare for the installation of future elevators? These beams are really the main footing of what will become stairwells and elevators within the center core of the hospital. Pretty neat!
Many thanks to this hard-working J.P. Cullen & Sons employee. He’s doing form work for concrete foundation walls located next to the future loading dock for the medical campus.
Check back each week for exciting new pictures from our contruction site and future home of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic in Janesville. And don’t forget to share your thoughts below! We’d love to hear from you.
Major developments are visible onsite at the future home of the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic in Janesville. Primary power conduits are being laid, steel reinforcement cages are going up and the foundation is being poured for the new medical campus!
They look like giant cages, but these steel reinforcements will secure the columns for the new structure.
Preparatory work on the ground surrounding and leading into the buildings is being done so that in the future, crews can feed the entire campus with power.
This steel reinforcement mat was brought in as another step in the preparation leading up to the pouring of the foundation. Check back each week as we share new pictures with you! Track our progress throughout the winter from the comfort of your own home or office. It’s a great start to a great new year!
Preparations for the foundation of the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic in Janesville are now underway!
Despite last week’s heavy snowfall, crews are getting reading to pour the foundation for the new medical campus during the weeks of December 14th and December 21st.
In the picture above, crews are working to create the channels through which the primary power source for the medical campus will run.
Here, crews have laid piping for future water service to the entire hospital and clinic grounds.
The snow is being cleared in this area to make way for the hospital’s back parking lot. This section will provide space for employees. Meanwhile, patients will enjoy easy frontside parking access, close to the main entrance of the hospital and clinic on the opposite side of the future buildings.
Keep checking back for additional pictures from this exciting process! Next week, look for pictures of the final steps of preparation before the foundation is poured!
We captured these photos of the progress made on the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic in Janesville. Temperatures have dipped since these were taken. However, the ground was far from frozen on this sunny day in November, where truckloads of dirt were moved to make way for the new medical campus coming in late 2011.
Here are some fun construction facts!
The new medical campus will incorporate 1,073 tons of steel, which weighs as much as 2,200 cows! Construction will also require 4,530 cubic yards of concrete. That’s enough for forty-five 2,500 sq. ft. homes with full basements!
The new hospital and clinic will incorporate 2,303,933 linear feet of wire. The equivalent of 436 miles, that’s approximately two roundtrips from Janesville to Chicago.
And when the exterior brick is laid, Dean & St. Mary’s will use 191,000 bricks. Laid end-to-end, that totals 35 miles!
We hope to have some Christmas pictures, complete with snow out at the site in the coming weeks! Please check back with us for more fun facts, the latest information on the construction process and related news.
From high above the I-90 and Highway 11 Interchange, check out the latest progress on the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic project!
Work was done in late November and early December to level the surface. In some cases, crews used dirt to build up certain areas and accomodate for specific construction plans.
These vehicles look so tiny from a distance! But they’re working hard; preparing all 50 acres for the medical campus. St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital will be a 50-bed hospital totaling approximately 163,000 square feet.
Dean Clinic in Janesville will total approximately 150,000 square feet. The 50-acre site incorporates space for planned future growth of both the hospital and the clinic.
Next week: check back for more pictures and a more fun construction facts!
Starting this week, we’ll give you an occasional glance at some of the progress being made on the future home of the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital and Dean Clinic!
On October 19th, the future medical campus home became an active construction area at the intersection of Highway 11 and Interstate 90 in Rock County. Trucks began moving earth and preparing the site for a time when crews will pour the foundation for the future buildings. The project should take approximately 24 months to complete and is expected to open at the end of 2011.
These images, captured at the beginning of November, demonstrate the work being done to level the surface. In some cases, crews are using dirt to build up certain areas and accomodate for specific construction plans.
Preparations are moving quickly in anticpation of the cold weather. Once winter sets in, the ground will freeze making it harder to shift these massive mounds of earth.
Check back frequently as we post new pictures from time-to-time! Next week, view aerial shots from up above as we capture the progress from a bird’s eye view!
St. Mary’s Janesville President Kerry Swanson and Dean Southern Region Administrator Diane Wilhelm visited the future site home Monday to see some of the first truckloads of earth moved.
Check back soon for additional pictures throughout the coming days and weeks as site changes before our eyes!
After months of designing and planning, construction has officially started on the new Dean Clinic and St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital campus!
Starting Monday, October 19th you can catch a glimpse of all the action at the intersection of Highway 11 and Interstate 90. Trucks are moving earth and preparing the site for construction. The project takes approximately 24 months to complete and is expected to open at the end of 2011.
Working on the project is Cogdell Spencer ERDMAN, along with Shepley Bulfinch of Boston and J.P. Cullen & Sons, Inc. of Janesville. They are putting the finishing touches on the design of the buildings. Dean and SSM Health Care of Wisconsin are very proud to draw upon talented members of the local workforce. J.P.
