(NATRONA HEIGHTS, Pa. )The former administrative offices building located adjacent to Allegheny Health Network’s (AHN) Allegheny Valley Hospital in Harrison Township is set to be demolished. The site where the building has stood since 1928 will be repurposed with additional hospital parking, a project that is slated for spring 2023.
In preparation for the demolition, excavation around the perimeter of the building will begin Monday, August 22; the building is tentatively scheduled to come down in early October. Although the project will not require any road closures, the sidewalk bordering the two sides of the building along Alabama and Carlisle Streets will be closed off and inaccessible for the duration.
The building was originally home to the nursing school and residence and then served as the main hospital for many years. Most recently, hospital administration offices were located there, until they were moved to the main hospital building in 2019. The building has been vacant since then.
AHN is partnering with Rycon Construction, Inc. to oversee the project, with MCF Architects and Gateway Engineering collaborating on the design of the planned parking area.
