Wabash General Hospital officials expect a project to add exterior dining at the hospital be completed next Spring. At Tuesday’s board of directors meeting, Doug McPherson reported that a pre-construction meeting on the project was held Monday as ARC Construction plans to begin work on January 15th with a May 15th completion date expected.

The board is also exploring the construction of a stand alone out-building for biohazard materials that would free up space inside the hospital.

In addition, a renovation of the housekeeping space is being explored as they are looking into flooring replacement, paint, lighting, and other general updates. McPherson reported there haven’t been updates to the original housekeeping space since 1983.
