| Construction Updates
The construction of the New Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital consists of seven phases. Phase 4 was completed in 2011, and patients were moved into the new wings in February 2012.
The rest of the project entails demolishing and rebuilding part of the existing hospital building, which will connect to the new buildings. These last few phases should be completed in 2018.

What's next?
Phase 5: Fall 2012 / Winter 2013
Numerous areas in the original hospital were vacated when the new wings were occupied in February 2012, marking the beginning of Phase 5. See map of Phase 5 work >>
Phase 5 consists mostly of preparation for, and demolition of, several buildings in phases, which clears the path for future construction (Phase 6) in late 2015.
Demolition of the North Wing (Building F) is expected to be completed by April 2013. After that work is complete, we will begin work on a small “link building” (3,300 sq. ft.) which is expected to begin in June 2013 and be completed by August 2014. This link building will provide a connection between our original hospital and the recently completed Patient Pavilions.

When this connection is complete work will begin on the demolition of the Reeves (Building C), Central (Building A) and West (Building B) Wings. During this period, we will be remodeling space for conference rooms in the East Wing.

Quarterly Project Updates:
May 13, 2013
Shoring for the Centennial Wing (Emergency Department) is underway, with excavation to follow in the next month. Foundations for the Link Building should begin in July. Foundations for the Conference Room Infill under the east wing are underway.
February 11, 2013
The demolition of the North Wing (Building F) is now complete. The demolition contractor continues with some small miscellaneous demolition projects such as removing the old tunnel under the North Wing. Shoring and excavation for the link building is expected to start in April.
November 15, 2012
The shoring piles necessary for the demolition of the North Wing (Bldg. F) are complete. Interior abatement and demolition are substantially complete. We expect to start the exterior demolition of the North Wing on or around 11/15/12.
Procurement of the Link and Conference buildings is under way and completion is expected by January 2013.
August 20, 2012
Phase 5 is currently in the process of mobilizing demolition and shoring contractors. We anticipate interior demolition and abatement to begin in the next couple of weeks after we receive APCD clearances. We anticipate the shoring contractor to be on-site setting the first 11 piles in early September. Site fencing has been installed in front of the North Wing, and we are currently tunneling for underground utilities in and around the North Wing. Hard demolition is expected to begin late this year.

What else we've done since September 2005
- Built and opened the new 633-space Pueblo Parking Structure for patients, visitors, volunteers and physicians. It includes bicycle facilities for staff (to encourage alternative transportation) and the Park Place Deli, open to all.
- Built and opened a new 530-space parking structure behind the Knapp Building for hospital employees.
- Constructed an $8 million underground storm drain culvert beneath four blocks, to protect the neighborhood from flood waters. We've also done extensive underground utility work in preparation for bringing the Energy Center online.
- Built and opened the Orfalea Children's Center on Castillo, providing a delightful and expanded setting for Cottage's highly regarded employee child-care programs.
- Opened the Cottage Center for Advanced Imaging, a sophisticated outpatient radiology center at 2410 Fletcher Avenue.
