Several times over the last weeks, I've had patrons ask if the work is still progressing on the building. Rest assured, our construction crew is working very hard. Most of the work right now is taking place inside the building, but soon you should start to see some more improvements to the outside. The crew is very anxious to get the parking lot poured before the winter weather sets in, and they are also awaiting any day now the arrival of the windows.
Work on the roof at the southeast corner of the building is going on, as well as preliminary work on the canopy for the walk up book drop, and sheathings for the automobile book drop. Wall framing is about 95% completed, and as soon as the windows are installed, they will begin to work more on the interiors. The roof panel installation for the new addition is just about complete, and the concrete panels are all in place, as well as all the parapet wall framing.
What many people don't understand is that this remodel was a complete tear-down on all aspects of the building. We have completely redone the sewer system for the building and also the storm drain system. While it may not be very exciting for patrons to see, trust me, when you don't have to deal with the pond in the middle of the parking lot, or attempt to find a bathroom that is not out of order, you will be very grateful for the time taken to improve these things!
In the temporary building, staff is continuing to work on the move back, and also looking at furniture for our individual work stations. It's quite a daunting task, but staff is handling it with their usual grace and aplomb.
