Raises the Roof with New Look
Renovations are more than a pretty façade.
The new changes are designed for energy efficiency and comfort.
The ongoing changes to the exterior of Leesburg Regional Medical Center have been noticeable even to the most casual of passersby. The $3.8 million renovations to the nearly 50-year-old building are more than just putting on a pretty face, however, “It’s not just about the cosmetics,” said David Park, Administrative Director of Facility Management. “We are investing in the infrastructure and preparing for the next stages of growth. Most of all, we are focusing on making things better for our patients.”
The new metal roof not only makes the building more aesthetically
pleasing but also is hurricane-rated. New double-panel, energy
efficient windows have been installed that are also hurricane
rated and exterior walls have been made water resistant.
An additional $1.3 million has been earmarked for improvements to interior areas and patient rooms. In the fall, renovations are scheduled for patient rooms to make them more private with a focus on safety and service. The clinical staff will enjoy redesigned nursing stations focused on improved workflow. The renovations are being staged in phases to minimize disruptions. “We’ve coordinated the process,” said Park, “and we’ve made sure that patients and visitors will not be impacted by the construction.”
