Whiteboards Installed

Its getting down to crunch time at the new science building. With the building nearing completion there are over 100 people working in there each day. The fence surrounding the job site has been taken down permanatly, which is a sign of major progress. Also the roof walkway was laid down this week. Each paver of the walkway sits on a plastic supporting cylinder approximately three inches off the actual roof. The terrazzo flooring was poured in the first floor hallways and atrium last week and will be grinded and polished this coming week. As far as the classrooms go the casework, lights, whiteboards, fume hoods, ceilings, shades, clocks, and flooring are all installed in the majority of them. Other finishing touches are being completed within the building.

Update 7/10/2008

The Brooks School New Science Center has been moving along this summer. With the Certificate of Occupancy scheduled for August 5, the building and all of its construction is heading into crunch time. Many major milestones in the job will be completed within the next few weeks. Some of these milestones include finishing the ceilings in the 1st and 2nd floor hallways, completion of the casework in both the 1st and 2nd floor classrooms, and terrazzo (flooring) being poured on the 1st floor. By the end of this week the terrazzo flooring will be poured and the seminar room seating will be installed. The seminar room has been occupied all week with the installation of the seats and desktops. Hopefully by the end of tomorrow the seats will be installed. Also access to the 1st floor has been limited due to the floor prepping for the terrazzo that is being poured this weekend. Other milestones that have recently been completed on the job has been the planting and installation of the paver-walkway on the green roof, installation of the rubber floors in the classroom and the installation of the ceilings in all the classrooms. I will try to update twice a week on the progress of the building along with pictures of how the building is coming along.
