As we continue to make progress on our campus improvement project, we want to keep you informed about upcoming work and what it may mean for you.
What to expect in August:
- Drainage Work Near Hancock Street: Crews are actively working on improving drainage in this area. While Stanwood remains open for now, though primarily for parking lot access this month, please be aware of intermittent disruptions related to this work.
- New Parking Lot Open! We’re excited to announce the opening of the new parking lot at the site of the old IT building on Hancock. Thank you for your patience during clearing of the old building, it’s great to see this new space open to alleviate some parking constraints on campus!
- Emergency Department Entrance Reconfiguration Coming Soon: You may notice preparations underway near the Emergency Department entrance. In the coming weeks, we’ll be reconfiguring traffic flow in this area. Clear signage will be posted, and we’ll share updates via email, website posts, and public notices once a date is finalized.
- Sound Study Update: Our ongoing sound study is still in progress. We’ll share findings and any related plans as they become available, we are working as quickly as possible to find a solution for you.
- Activity at Former PT/OT Space: If you enter the first floor of the hospital, you may see activity in the area where our physical therapy department once operated. As a reminder, Physical and Occupational Therapy has moved from the hospital location to the Cadillac Mountain Medical Building on Main Street in Bar Harbor, just around the corner. This move has not impacted PT/OT at any of our other health centers.
