November 19, 2021 Master Facility Update #07
This week was extremely noisy with demolition in the 68 building. We have partnered with the PI team to help communicate with nursing staff and patients why we are experiencing this and to hand out earplugs to help alleviate the noise. Vibrations may continue to be felt, but this is normal and expected, and I promise is temporary. As I’ve rounded this week, I’ve heard a lot of questions surrounding timelines. Demolition is nearly complete. Installation of ducts, pipes, and framing for walls will come next. There will continue to be construction noise with these activities. We will do our best to communicate with the floors that are expected to experience the ‘worst’ to help manage expectations.
Below is an overview of construction that is happening at Cheyenne Regional West for this upcoming {holiday} week.
asHighlights:
-
A crane will be in operation on 24th street all day Monday, November 22nd.
- Continuing construction noise from 4th floor renovation. Contractor will not be onsite for Thanksgiving and the Friday after.
