Planned Parenthood of the Southern Finger Lakes’ project has way more structural steel up (basically the whole building envelope), as well as corrugated steel decking for floors and roof sheathing. The north-west steel stair ramp is making its way around the concrete elevator tower that was poured just a few weeks ago. I haven’t been able to swing by during the day to see what kind of crew they’ve got, but the gross majority of this steel framing work has been completed in about two weeks flat. Pretty impressive stuff.

The Planned Parenthood site is showing great progress: the concrete forms have been removed on both the stair and elevator towers, and we’ve got two stories of structural steel beam assemblies, anchored on the concrete foundation sections and footer blocks. As you can see from the rendered plans below, the stair tower will be going up another story for roof access, and the steel beam section with the angled tops will be supporting the hipped-roof western portion of the building. The structure will be extending further north from what we see now to fill-out the rest of the hipped roof section and flat roof section, which will be developed just past the stair tower.

The elevator tower and stair tower have been formed (and possibly poured.. hard to tell) another level up, and the foundation walls have been wrapped in rigid insulation foam almost all the way around and covered back up with soil. There’s probably also some gravel fill and a footer drain pipe running around the base of the foundation walls as well. The concrete pads look like they’re intended to provide for structural support, and the rest of the interior space will likely be covered in rigid insulation, then poured as a slab.
