USA Medical Center: Maintenance, Renovations

The University of South Alabama Medical Center is currently undergoing maintenance and renovation projects.

According to Steve Lancaster, food manager at the USA Medical Center, the hospital's cafeteria is being remodeled to focus on the eating area. "The walls have all been painted and new wall treatments have been applied," Lancaster said. "The entrance will change to provide a better flow for guests as well as for kitchen staff. The staff will now remove used trays through the new hallway being constructed where the old entrance was."

Lancaster said the floor is the last step in the remodel, and it will match what is in the hospital's administration hallway.




In addition, the hospital's exterior is being repainted. According to Lawrence Gardner, director of facilities management at the USA Medical Center, the expected completion of the project is Sept. 1, 2012.
