It's official. Construction of the $270 million John R. Oishei Children's Hospital is 85 percent complete and on schedule to open in November.

After breaking ground in October 2014, the last of the building’s physical structure – consisting of steel columns and beams, a metal deck and reinforced concrete floors – is wrapped up, Kaleida Health officials announced.

Hospital officials have released a time lapse video documenting the 12-story building’s construction. The time lapse video along with an assortment of other videos recapping the hospital’s progress are featured at www.ChildrensIsMoving.com/media/videos.
