When construction on the new Dean Clinic and St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital begins, you will be able to wow your friends with a few of these fun facts! For example, did you know the new medical campus will have:
- 1,073 tons of steel. This weighs as much as 2,200 cows!
- 4,530 cubic yards of concrete. That’s enough for forty-five 2,500 sq. ft homes with full basements.
- 2,303,933 linear feet of wire. This stretches 436 miles, or two roundtrips from Janesville to Chicago.
- 191,000 exterior bricks. Laid end-to-end, that equals 35 miles, or the distance of running the track at Monterey Stadium 140 times!
- 95,400 linear feet of pipe. Think of 18 miles worth, or from Janesville to just past Edgerton.
- 13,800 sq. ft. of glass. That’s enough to cover more than one Pontiac Convention Center with glass.
- 21,370 linear feet of HVAC piping. This happens to be enough to reach downtown Janesville from the new medical campus!
