Halifax Health North Tower
Did You Know?
The North Tower construction project includes a Central Energy Plant located northeast of the tower on the Halifax Health Medical Center campus. The plant houses three generators, three chillers and two boilers to provide all the necessary utilities for the tower.The construction of Halifax Health’s new 10-story inpatient North Tower and Emergency Department at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach continues to make significant progress.
Noted as one of the most distinguishing
structural features of the area, a belvedere
has sat atop the oldest portion of Halifax
Health Medical Center since the hospital
opened in 1928. The new North Tower will
have a belvedere, as well. This new
structure has been completed and can be
seen on the southwest corner of the tower.
Halifax Health’s new 4,500-square-foot helipad — located on the North Tower roof — is now complete. Two elevators designated strictly for traumas will travel from the helipad level of the roof all the way down to the new Emergency Department on the ground floor.
Interior projects such as electrical,
plumbing, insulation, duct work and sheet
rock installation are all in progress.
Expanded and improved patient and
visitor parking areas also are nearing
completion.
The tower is still scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2009.
