Torcon led construction management for the conversion of Magee’s rooftop into an outdoor healing garden. Here, pa- tients can partake in therapy sessions, visit the spiritual cen- ter, or enjoy the view. Targeted crane use provided access to the rooftop, including for the delivery of an automobile for patients to practice driving along different curb cuts and surfaces. The project encompassed renovated indoor spaces for a new atrium and art studio for Magee’s Art Therapy program. Torcon had no street-level space for staging, and the hospi- tal remained operational throughout construction. The team worked diligently and unobtrusively to ensure safety and patient comfort.
