Anatomy of progress
W.G. Yates and Sons Construction Company employees work on the fourth-story floor of the 81st Medical Group Hospital’s new inpatient tower Aug. 11. They will then erect the roof which will add another 15 feet to the structure’s height. The final tower will be four stories at its highest point. The roof of the second story is the foreground. This portion of the tower will only be two floors and will contain two new operating rooms. Construction of the new addition is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2011.
