SAN DIEGO—Locally based general contractor Pacific Building Group raised the final beam to complete or “top out” the steel structure of Alvarado Hospital Medical Center's expanded emergency department Wednesday. Hospital staff and community members signed the beam, now situated within the structure.
When complete in early 2018, the 21,000 square-foot project will provide a newly-renovated, state-of-the-art facility to the community. Originally built in 1972 with 12 beds, the updated space will offer 21 beds on the first floor, as well as a designated staff area and shell space for future expansion on the second floor.
According to Ben Macapugay, marketing manager at Alvarado Hospital Medical Center, “The expansion will greatly enhance the ability of Alvarado Hospital's Emergency Department to function as a certified heart attack STEMI center and certified primary stroke center, and make it a more effective destination for emergency care.”
