Crews are framing three elevations of the building and working on closing things in. First- and second-floor slabs have been poured, and the structural steel contractor is working on the pan deck (support) for the roofing. Concrete workers will pour slabs on the roof for the mechanical units.

Adroit Construction is working on getting the front structural steel canopy erected late next week.

Crews have also started constructing a new parking lot located west of the Spears Cancer Center, where some storage units used to be. That lot is expected to be done by the end of the year. Click here for a parking map.

The Spears Cancer Center expansion is set to open in early 2022.
