General contractors The Beck Group (Dallas) and Killian Construction Co. are slated to lay the final concrete beam at the Cox South patient tower during a ceremony scheduled Thursday.
At 2 p.m. at the construction site, 3801 S. National Ave., the ceremony will include a signing of the beam by employees, followed by the ceremonial hoisting of the beam with a small evergreen tree and American flag attached, according to a news release.
The $130 million, 10-story patient tower is expected to open in May, in line with previous projections.
The 343,000-square-foot project is funded by $200 million in bonds CoxHealth issued in April 2013, according to
