Cape Cod Healthcare announced today that demolition work will begin on Monday, Feb. 1, on several construction projects at Cape Cod Hospital. The work will include renovation of the patient registration area, main corridor and front façade of the hospital.
For the patient registration area renovation, the gift shop will be temporarily relocated to the Lorusso Conference Room in the Mugar Wing of the hospital. The Casual Gourmet snack bar will close on Friday, Jan. 29. Discussions about future locations for the gift shop and snack bar are ongoing.
For the façade work, demolition will begin Monday, Feb. 1, and the construction phase is scheduled to begin in mid- to late-February.
Temporary walls will go up next week to keep patients and visitors safe as they walk through the main corridor area. Actual construction in this area will begin on Feb. 18.
All three projects are expected to be finished by June 4.
There will be signs and other guides to help those entering the hospital to navigate the entire construction area. The front entrance and lobby, as well as the information desk, will remain open during construction.
We appreciate the public’s patience and understanding, while we work to make Cape Cod Hospital more patient and visitor-friendly, as well as improve its appearance.
