Despite heavy rainfall in early June, steel sequence six began on Phase 1 of the Wichita Biomedical Campus, covering the north half of floors six and seven.
Concrete was poured at the south end of the third floor and at the stairs at the southeast corner of the building. By May 30, steel decking was almost complete through floor five, and the final second floor concrete pour was completed. The three-story portion of the building also showed substantial progress. Earlier in May, steel sequence 5 started, focusing on the south areas of floors six and seven, with beams for floor seven beginning to go in.
Phase 1 of the Wichita Biomedical Campus — a joint venture of Wichita State, the University of Kansas and WSU Tech — is a $222 million, 350,000-square-foot joint health sciences center, located at the southeast corner of Broadway and William. Once complete, the Wichita Biomedical Campus will combine WSU’s College of Health Professions programs, including the Evelyn Hendren Cassat Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic, WSU Tech’s health care program and the Wichita campuses of KU School of Medicine and KU School of Pharmacy.
