The La Crosse Bed Tower is a new 70-bed hospital connected to the existing Center for Advanced Medicine and Surgery (CAMS) building. The new building is approximately 287,000 Building Gross Square Feet (BGSF) and is comprised of one floor below grade, and six (6) floors at or above grade, including a mechanical penthouse.
MAJOR CHALLENGE:
Schedule was a major challenge on this project. OCI utilized Interior Extreme Gypsum Board to be able to top out our walls before the building was enclosed. The majority of OCI’s work fell within a 14-month duration. Olympic and the mechanical contractor were also able to utilize off-site prefabricated wall assemblies to minimize rough in durations on site.
