Thesis Abstract

 

The St. Elizabeth Boardman Inpatient Facility was designed as a seven story addition to an already existing two story building, providing modern medical technologies and comfortable healing environments to patients, visiters, and staff members alike. The official ribbon cutting ceremony for the building was held on July 29, 2007. It is a steel framed building with a brick facade and a curvilinear northern elevation consisteing of an aluminum panel curtain wall system. The abstract is a graphic presentation outlining the main systems in use in the building as well as some basic project information and key players in the construction process.
