Progress to completion – the “Tower”

The David E. Kampe Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital should be ready for patients by the end of April 2019.

Officials from EllisDon Infrastructure, the province’s private sector partner in the $312.5-million PRH project led a media tour of the construction site Tuesday. Reporters were shown much of the extensive operating room and ambulatory care clinical space on the first and second floors of the building.

Jason Hui, project manager for EllisDon, said construction of the six-storey tower is progressing on time and on budget.
The tower’s concrete shell will be completed within the next couple of months, with extensive work to continue throughout 2018 on the interior of the facility. A 480-stall parkade will be built next year immediately south of the tower.

Interior Health and South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation officials were also on hand for the tour.
