The construction team has started the \u201cheart\u201d of the building on the fourth floor (rendering shown at left), where heavy mechanical equipment will be centrally located. Mechanical and electrical infrastructure are gradually being installed throughout the space.<\/p>\n<p>The building even has a digestive system. Just like a person needs to be fed, the building has concrete beginnings of a loading dock where deliveries will go in (and waste removed) in the final building.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"beams of bridge connections for 3rd floor\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped-1024x730.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped-1536x1094.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped-700x499.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/strong-expansion-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bridge-uncropped.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>On September 8, crews set bridge connections on the three levels above the ground floor. This is significant because the links show a visible connection of the current building to the future tower.<\/p>\n<p>It was a productive summer on the worksite after a very rainy spring. On the horizon are tasks like plumbing connections and getting temporary heat set up for the winter months as work continues. This month, a fuel fill station is being installed at the generator building near Eastman Dental.<\/p>\n<p>While all this is underway, our Operational Readiness team is launching meetings with clinical and other departmental teams to prepare for the logistics of moving into new space.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u2014September 16, 2025[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strong staff make their mark on final steel beam for expansion.
