In November, there were a lot of visual changes made at the Forsyth Library renovation site, including:
- the stone was removed on the north side of the building to make room for a 23′ window on the second level
- the crews prepared for the west windows by installing precast cement framing
- the hole in the floor on the south side of the main level has been cut, connecting the main level to the lower level with sight, sound, and light
- the south stairs have been installed with steel framing and concrete, the finish layer will be added later
- walls are being framed on the main level around the elevator core and the rooms on the west side of the building on the upper level where the future Honor’s College, Dean’s Suite, Archives, and the nook for our Juvenile Collection will be located
- the existing façade on the 3 sides of the lobby was demolished where a new foyer will give a 270 degree view of campus encompassed by windows
Take a look at the November recap video to see the exciting progress:
