While we have a lot of work ahead, we are making significant strides to improve the services we provide.
Ongoing demolition for the ESE Expansion project will continue to create noise and vibrations at the ANMC hospital.
Construction update
Construction crews are nearly through with brick and footing demolition! The demolition of existing footings and brick on ANMC’s east side is scheduled to be complete early week of Nov. 18. As crews finish the last bit of brick demolition on the second floor exterior and use jackhammers to breakup and remove the last of footings, this will continue to create noise and vibrations.
Demolition of the existing ambulance bay foundation, the existing ED entry, and the last remaining octagon on the east side is scheduled to be complete week of Nov. 11. This work will also create noise and vibration.
For Phase 1B, interior framing is roughly 90% complete. Rough-in is ongoing for mechanical, electrical and sprinkler. Gypsum wall board installation will start the week of Nov. 11.
Reminder: Temporary Emergency Services Department now open
As construction continues to happen elsewhere in the hospital, the Temporary Emergency Services Department (ESD) opened on Sept. 7. Patients should present to the Temporary ESD, located on the southeast side of the hospital.
Access to the Temporary ESD is from the Diplomacy Drive entrance. The Tudor Centre entrance is for emergency vehicle access only. The former Emergency Room entrance is closed for construction.
Parking Update
Most of the ANMC hospital east parking lot is fenced off for construction activities. Day parking is no longer available in the ANMC hospital east lot, except for limited ADA accessible parking. The remainder of available parking in this area is reserved for ESD patients.
Additional parking locations include: the ANMC Patient Housing Parking Garage (north of the hospital), the Denali Parking Garage (east of the hospital), and the Flattop Mountain Parking Garage (south of the hospital). There is a marked pedestrian path from the Denali Parking Garage for all foot traffic between the garage and the ANMC hospital.
