Details: Interior repair works are ongoing on five floors of the building. Preparations are in progress to launch a bone marrow transplant unit, which requires sterile premises.
In block V, some plasterboard, suspended ceilings, HPL panels (laminated decorative panels), and windows have been replaced. In addition, wall joints in sterile areas (zones with high sterility requirements) covering a total area of more than 2,300 sq m have been sealed.
Part of the windows and doors have been replaced, linoleum has been laid in certain areas, and partial painting works have been carried out.
The facade renovation is also underway: more than 2,200 sq m of the damaged facade has been dismantled in blocks D, V and B, and brackets for the new facade have been installed on more than 1,200 sq m.
Additional insulation works are being performed: the facade subsystem and insulation materials have been delivered to the site.
The production of new windows is nearing completion – they will begin to be installed in certain blocks next week.
Engineering network updates are also in progress and 159 light fixtures have been installed on four floors of block V.
The ventilation system, fire safety and low-current systems have been inspected. Part of this block's premises has been put into operation.
