An artist's rendering, above, shows the 5500 square foot ambulance facility that will be constructed on the Parkview Whitley Hospital campus on the east side of Columbia City. A ceremonial groundbreaking was held June 15, 2011, for the $900,000 facility. Construction will be swift as a hospital spokesman says the building will open October 20, 2011 -- the same day the new hospital is scheduled to open. The ambulance facility will feature four ambulance bays, a trailer garage, two sleeping quarters, a dayroom, a kitchen, a meeting room, two administrative offices, a workout room and a storage room.
