Architect Revising AMC Expansion Plan
Audrain Medical Center trustees seek cuts of about 1 million from a 5.8 million expansion. Architect Harold LePere proposes shortening the west wing by five feet to preserve the Epple House and keep the current emergency room location, reducing floor space by 1,295 square feet and saving roughly 115,000. Plans to keep six new surgical units, a new lab and radiology unit remain, with the emergency room area provided but unfinished and the basement shelved.
