Incoming: May Construction Update! 🪏🚧

Momentum continues building across the Lindner Center of Hope campus expansion projects.

🏥 Earlier this month, we celebrated an exciting milestone at the new Medical Office Building with the placement of the highest steel beam—signed by Lindner Center employees as part of this lasting moment in the project’s history. Over the next few weeks, steel er****on is expected to be completed, paving the way for the next phase of construction.

🅿️ Significant progress has also been made on the new parking and pedestrian access areas. The parking lot and walking path are now paved and striped, while lighting and landscaping remain underway, and security cameras coming next.

🏠 At Sibcy House, steel work on the remaining roof structure is nearly complete, and final roof trusses are being manufactured. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work are also progressing.

Thank you to our patients, families, staff, visitors, and community for your continued patience and support as we build for the future of mental health care.
