construction updates

 

September 2010

 

The Trades and Technology project has advanced considerably over this past summer with the project team now working diligently on our logistics plans for the next several months. All the sub-grade building piles are complete with the exception of the new Thomas Riley Atrium piles (which will be installed immediately following the demolition of the current atrium in the fall of 2011). The exterior curtain wall system (unitized exterior panels and glazing) which will be used for all the Complex buildings is currently under production and will begin arriving on site in mid-October for installations starting with the new South Wing.
