The past few months have been filled with progress on the exterior and interior plans at the Forsyth Library renovation site. The building was closed between the fall and spring semesters, which allowed construction crews to tackle some of the bigger tasks more efficiently. Here are some of the major highlights:
- The first west window was finished
- The remaining stone was removed on the south side of the building to prepare for the south window installation
- The north windows on the upper level were installed giving a beautiful view to the quad of campus
- The north stairwell was demolished and the new steel framing was installed
- Metal wall framing continued on all levels
- Plumbing and fire suppression work continued on all levels
- Sheetrocking began on the upper level in the Honors College, Dean’s Suite, and Special Collections and University Archives areas
Aside from the physical construction progress, we worked behind-the-scenes to make progress on technology planning, made adjustments within the construction timeline as needed, and continued selecting furniture for the spaces.
