Happy Thanksgiving

Despite the holiday, the construction didn't suffer from the tryptophan effect. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Nature Trail is paved by our hardworking crew.

Taking Shape

Things are taking shape! Work has begun on framing interior walls and masonry work is being done to prepare for constructing the entrance. Things are coming along for the nature trail, we're laying stone in preparation of pavement.

We Have Walls!!

It’s been about a month since our groundbreaking on 9/29 and the official kick-off of the NeuroCare Campus Expansion project. It’s hard to believe how much has been happening in that time. Nearly all of the underground work has been completed such as plumbing, electrical, foundation and concrete work. They will be digging a large pit on the north side of Chase in front of Heavlin to allow the boring machine to bore under the road. The contractors and the Special Tree facilities maintenance team are taking every precaution to make sure this is barricaded and remains safe for anyone who may come across this. Barricade fence was installed around the hole by the contractor, but Special Tree’s maintenance team, led by Mark Blevins, are adding another small section for extra protection. Thanks, Mark and crew! The Douglas Team continues to frame the nature trail bridges and they also began framing WALLS this week near the existing building’s therapy area. With all the work that has been done so far, it just feels extra exciting to see walls going up!
