Over the past several months, construction has been focused on utility work and parking improvements for the BuildCMH Expansion Project. First things first We first needed to complete various utility updates, such as burying power lines and relocating water and sewer mains. We also constructed a new parking lot west of the Cancer Collaborative and demolished several buildings, making way for a temporary helipad. Utilities Throughout March and April, traffic detoured around an Exchange Street closure so that the necessary utility work could be completed. Exchange Street has reopened, and we thank the community for their patience during this disruptive phase of construction. Helipad In April, we worked to finish a temporary helipad and make it operational. It will be used until the new facility opens. At that time, the permanent helipad will be located on the hospital roof. Building begins As we near the end of summer, we anticipate building construction to begin in August. Although you won’t see framing for several months, you’ll notice some changes to our campus immediately. We’ll soon be routing patients to the back side of the hospital to enter. When that happens, we’ll be sure to communicate and show you the way. BUILDCMH UPDATE What’s happening on campus at CMH? Thank you Thanks to all who have supported us as we have planned and started this immense project. We are confident it will be a wonderful addition to our region when it opens in late 2027.
