SYRACUSE — A crew from the Hayner Hoyt Corp. today raised the final steel beam into place as it continues construction on the patient tower at St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center.
The hospital considers it a “milestone” in the construction project. Hayner Hoyt is a Syracuse–based construction firm.
Some St. Joseph’s employees and Hayner Hoyt crew members gathered on E. Laurel St. in a light rain to watch as a crane hoisted the steel beam into place.

Construction on the patient tower started at the same time Hayner Hoyt began work on the hospital’s new operating-room suite in March 2012, says Marylin Galimi, director of engineering and construction at St. Joseph’s.
The new operating rooms opened this July.
The patient tower is part of the second phase of St. Joseph’s expansion project. The second phase started back in 2009 with construction on an emergency-services building that also houses the hospital’s expanded emergency department.
“September 2014 is when we’re targeting to open the new patient tower,” Galimi told reporters at the scene of today’s beam raising.
