The final steel verticle beams went up on Sept. 17, 2007. Support beams/crossing beams are now going up on the very south building. The duct work for HVAC is being placed in the north building. Sprinkler systems are being put in as well. The skin of the building is starting to go up as well. The footprint of the building is larger than a football field. It is 418 feet or 139 yards long.

Tom Mulhern, CEO of Limestone Medical Center visited the work site today. Sean Mace and I visited a number of sites around Dover in search of "pavers". The Charles Ridgley Green in front of the Medical Center will have pathways with pavers. The final mortar for the building has been selected. An "earth tone" type mortar has been selected. Tom B

The steel continues to go up as fast as it can be delivered. The floors have been poured on the second and third floors of the north building. It should be noted this will be a very energy efficient building. We are taking advantage of the large size and will have systems in place that will allow us to harvest light, use less heat and air, take advantage of computerized building management. For example, on weekends we can turn the heat down in certain areas etc. This will be done via a remote server. We are going green! The windows have been upgraded to provide more energy efficiency. We are putting in as much insulation as the newest buildings in Albany, NY, have.

Our building Project Superintendent is recovering from surgery--Henry, all is well in Dover--but, we look forward to your return. Tom Barnett
