Exterior Gets Weatherized

With the sunny days we've had, the crew has been progressing right along.  Here are a few pictures showing the exteriors of the new addition with the weather wrap on.

This first photo shows the new main entrance to the library, and the new Community Room.  You can see how much of the exterior walls are completed, and the weather wrapping around the Community Room.

I took a little outside tour along 1st North to see the scope of the new building. Here you can see how the new addition is connecting to the old building.  The atrium roof is peeking out over the older building.  I'm so glad we were able to save the mature tree in the parking!

This last photo is looking from the new addition back onto the older building.  You can just see the Tabernacle roof behind the building.  From this angle, the new addition looks huge!

Interiors Get Insulation and Drywall

Work on the interior is moving right along!  The weatherization materials and insulation are being installed.  Here are a few pictures of the work being done right now.

The insulation is going up in the atrium.  Its kind of fun to watch them lift the insulation pieces up to the top of the atrium.

Here is a picture of the weatheriszation materials along the north wall.  This photo looks west down through what will be the Young Adult and Junior sections of the library.

The drywall has also arrived and is in the process of being installed. This next photo shows the drywall up in the new Junior Activity Room.

They've also put drywall inside the lighting fixtures.  This photo shows a close-up of one in the Junior area.

This next photo shows the drywall leaning up against the sides of the framing waiting to be installed.  This picture is looking east from the Junior Activity Room back to the old part of the library.

In other parts of the building, the drywall is still waiting to be installed.  The next picture shows the drywall waiting in the Community Room.

This photo shows drywall waiting to be installed in the new Staff Processing area.
