Donning hard hats, work boots and safety glasses, MCTI students in grades 9 through 12, were given a guided tour by construction professionals from Lend Lease, the project management team for the new St. Luke’s Monroe Campus. The tour took students from the Ground Floor to the roof to explore facility architecture, construction, building materials and the intricate systems that go into a new hospital to ensure safety, comfort and efficiency.
Students had the opportunity to ask questions about all aspects of the project, from heating and ventilation, plumbing and electrical systems to building construction and masonry. Many local companies have been involved in the St. Luke’s Monroe Campus project, employing about 250 workers in the building trades.
