The Westwood Replacement Hospital team participated in their Annual Toy Drive with nearly 400 toys being donated to the UCLA Fire Department for distribution. This marked the 6th year the Project Team has participate in the program. Pictured above are some of those responsible for organizing the event. Building Exterior Finishes & Sitework Exterior wall panel installation and roofing installation has completed. Installation of the exterior doors remains. The Westwood Hospital has taken its finished shape and appearance with curved towers, rectilinear stone cladding, sunshades, balconies, upper courtyards, and glass window walls. Average daily manpower is near 400 workers. Sitework is well underway with the recent completion and opening of the new intersection of CYD West and Gayley Ave. This will serve as the Children’s Hospital entrance, the Emergency Room entrance and access to patient pick-up and drop off area. The realignment of Gayley Ave is underway and anticipated to complete by the end of May. Construction of the South Plaza is progressing. Sitework at the main entrance off of Westwood Plaza is schedule to occur in the early summer. Activities include driveways, sidewalks, lighting and landscaping. Interior Finishes Interior finishes are progressing from the east side of the building toward the west. In the upper floors (4 through 8) of the Northeast, Southeast and Central Towers, drywall installation is complete with finish paint, ceramic tile, flooring, ceiling and door hardware installation nearing completion. Casework installation continues in the patient rooms and nurse station areas. In lower floors of the building, work is primarily focused on completing inspection of overhead installations to be followed by installation of finish ceilings and remaining interior finishes. Mechanical systems are being brought on line with testing and flushing of plumbing systems. Complete functional systems are necessary in preparation for the start-up and final commissioning effort. Final Vendor data has been received and incorporated into the design to allow completion of Radiology areas. The main entrance to the 1st Floor public spaces including main lobby and cafeteria areas are beginning to reflect their final appearance with the installation of Terrazzo flooring, custom wall panels and finish ceilings. Mechanical installation is nearing completion in the B2 Level basement, 3rd floor and roof penthouse areas. These activities include seismic bracing of mechanical and electrical equipment (i.e., air handlers, compressors, electrical switchgear and transformers, etc.), installing interconnecting piping, conduit and ductwork and testing of completed systems. Progress on the startup and testing of these systems is vital to completion of the building. Elevator cabs are in place and most elevator door fronts are installed. |
