Donor News
Lakeland Health Foundations, St. Joseph/
Benton Harbor pledged a $500,000 lead
gift which will fund construction of the
street leading to the newly renovated
Emergency Department.
The Frederick S. Upton Foundation pledged
$240,000 in support of a new auditorium, to
be named in the family’s honor, and located
on the basement level of the new Pavilion.
The auditorium will offer meeting space for
educational and healthy living events for
both community members and staff.
Proposed Site Design Fun Facts:
- Approximately 500,000 gallons of storm water runoff is treated before being released into the river, equivalent to the daily water use of 1,250 American homes
- Approximately 2,600 feet (1/2 mile) of existing sewer pipes relocated
- Over three million linear feet of electrical wire installed – equivalent to 600 miles or the distance from the city of St. Joseph to the northern tip of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
- 75,000 cubic yards
of earth excavated –
enough to fill 19 high
school gymnasiums
to the roof
- 375,000 cubic feet of fresh air
per minute produced by new
air handling system – enough to
fill up the largest Goodyear
blimp in 48 seconds
- 1,700 tons of steel installed – equivalent to the weight of 850 cars or almost all vehicles parked at the
Lakeland Medical Center, St. Joseph campus at one time
Pardon Our Dust – Parking Closures Underway
Site preparations for the Pavilion have resulted in parking lot closures to accommodate the new building site and
construction crews. Throughout the duration of the project, the main parking garage on the St. Joseph campus will
be reserved for patients, visitors, and volunteers. Lakeland security will be onsite to help ensure limited disruptions
for community members.
In January, St. Joseph city commissioners and the Lakeland Health
Board of Directors approved plans to build a 64-space surface parking
lot east of the main entrance on Napier Avenue and north of the
parking garage. Parking studies will continue throughout the project
to determine the need for a potential additional floor and a roof
on the hospital’s existing parking garage. The project would add
a total of 251 new parking spots once complete.
