St. Francis begins $2M renovation of oncology unit

St. Francis Hospital has awarded Connecticut construction company O&G Industries a $2 million contract to renovate the eighth floor oncology center and other space on the floor.

The project includes a complete renovation and upgrade of the eighth floor oncology wing, which includes 38 private inpatient oncology rooms, nursing stations, offices and meeting space. So-called swing space, areas that can be used temporarily for patients when there are more patients than private rooms, also will be renovated.

Torrington-based O&G expects to complete the 16,100-square-foot renovation in spring 2017.

St. Francis selected the project team of O&G and architect AE Design Group of Southington through a competitive bidding process.
