Alvarado Medical Center ED topping out General contractor Pacific Building Group today raised the final beam to complete the steel structure of Alvarado Hospital Medical Center’s improved emergency department, which will include 21 beds and space for future expansion.

SAN DIEGO—Locally based general contractor Pacific Building Group raised the final beam to complete or “top out” the steel structure of Alvarado Hospital Medical Center’s expanded emergency department Wednesday. Hospital staff and community members signed the beam, now situated within the structure.

When complete in early 2018, the 21,000 square-foot project will provide a newly-renovated, state-of-the-art facility to the community. Originally built in 1972 with 12 beds, the updated space will offer 21 beds on the first floor, as well as a designated staff area and shell space for future expansion on the second floor.
