The ninth floor has been complete for about two weeks now, just as of monday or tuesday they started putting up the tenth and final floor which will be steel instead of cement. I'd say given that the top will be steel it should take shape fast, no more than two weeks, probably less. Thats as long as they don't stall.
Lmich, if you haven't already, can you add steel as being part of the structure for this on Emporis?
Sparrow Hospital celebrated a new chapter in its 111-year history with the final beam being raised for its $135 million West Wing addition during a ceremony today.
The 500,000-square-foot 10-story expansion - the hospital's first in two decades - will feature a new emergency room, hospital officials said today.
The first patient service area to be completed is Sparrow's new emergency room in January 2008. The new ER will more than triple the size of the current facility and feature a dedicated, pediatric ER specially designed and staffed to care for children and adolescents.

The state-of-the-art addition will feature expanded, patient and family focused facilities for many Sparrow services, including emergency, cardiac care, critical care and surgery, hospital officials said.
"Our new West Wing will serve our patients better in the very near future, and serve future generations in the distant future," said Sparrow Senior Vice President Ira Ginsburg.
"The placement of the final beam marks a major milestone in the construction process and signals that we are one step closer to our vision of world-class healthcare."
The top four floors will be left vacant and used for future expansion, hospital officials said.
