Central Region Hospital One Year In

This April marks the first anniversary of the groundbreaking for the Central Region Psychiatric Hospital, now under construction in Butner. According to DHHS Property and Construction Director Terry Hatcher, crews have almost completed all the steel construction as well as most of the “rough-in” work in what will become the patient care unit. He reports that the work crews are already installing plumbing, electrical and conduit work in many parts of the site. Some parts of the construction site have already had floor slabs poured and some of the roofing slabs should be completed by next month. Hatcher says they hope to get the hospital’s utility plant – which will provide the hospital’s heating, air conditioning and water – on line by early summer.
