Little Time, Lots of Progress

Although we were just in the building last week, so much progress has been made since then! You can really see changes almost every day you walk in.  This week workers began the restoration process for the ceiling in what was Beems auditorium as well as repurposing lights from the old library for use in the covered parking area.  We are conscioulsy working with what we have in the space while still adding the modern amenities needed to continue to serve our customers.  Check out these photos of all the work that has been done in just one short week.


All the windows are in and now have a privacy film on the small ones on the bottom.
Tile from last week is completely done on the 1st Street side of the building.

Beginning work on the ceiling in the old Beems Auditorium, our Learning Center, on the first floor.
First floor bathroom has been painted and tiled.  The terra cotta color is beautiful next to the neutral tile.
Behind the sinks in the bathrooms, the other walls will be the reverse tile pattern
The lights you see in the parking areas are repurposed from the original library.

New cabinetry in the breakroom


New cabinetry near the Executive offices. Beautiful
 
And the filing cabinetry near the Executive offices as well.

So Many Changes


So much has happened since our last post! We have walls with paint plus tile on the outside of the building.  All the windows are in and the temperature inside is being regulated. We even have a stairway to the second floor of the building. It feels as though we are getting closer and closer to it becoming real! 

Take some time and look at the pictures.  You'll see how much progress has been made, too.

Outside long look at the building facade.

This is the furthest north of the building on the 1st street side getting the beautiful tile that
will cover all outside parts of the building that you see Tyvek/white.

The first thing you see when you walk into the lobby of the building is the floating conference room. 
And now it has WALLS!

A space in the kitchen/breakroom for booth style seating painted with a really nice green color.


Every 3rd or 4th producer office is painted with a rich light blue.  Unfortunately without lights in the building,
 it's really hard to see the color in this photo.

The painted collaboration areas on the second floor look great thanks to the
same green as seen in the kitchen/breakroom above.
