As a result of the very generous support of our benefactors, construction has dramatically accelerated and manpower on the Uniondale site has more than quadrupled the last few months. This exciting project which will impact the lives of so many is now moving forward full speed ahead. God willing this magnificent state-of-the-art continuum care facility will be substantially completed within the next 18 months.
Demolition, abatement, site utilities, concrete curbs, concrete slabs, structural steel, underground utilities, elevator shafts, and east wing roofing work are for the most part completed. Currently, the window framing, east wing’s drywall framing on the 2nd floor, west wing roofing, and east wing stucco work is in progress. Prior to the stucco work, the exterior waterproofing agent is being applied to all brick facades, and glass, door frames and roofing materials are now on site. Hopefully, the building envelope will be watertight prior to the arrival of winter weather.
Our building committee is diligently working to deal with supply line issues but more importantly with inflation which is impacting the construction industry with supplies increasing in price by 10% - 15%. Needless to say, this impacts our project and the continued generous support of the community is critically needed to complete the new Home in a timely fashion. If you have not already participated in the Capital Campaign with a generous contribution or if you have already made a donation and now wish to help deal with inflation by making an additional contribution, please visit the expansion website https://www.stmichaelshomeuniondale.org/.
Featured on the site are updates on the project as well as various ways to participate in the Capital Campaign along with LEVELS OF GIVING and remaining NAMING OPPORTUNITIES. Any questions or to discuss making a donation, please contact the Development Office ([email protected]). All who participate in the completion of this magnificent state-of-the-art continuum care facility will feel a deep sense of contentment and pride when it opens its doors.
