The construction work at the Forsyth Library Renovation site has visually transformed all areas of the building. This is such an exciting stage of change because some areas are starting to feel more like a finished building! Here are some of the major highlights:
- The window on the south side of the building was installed giving a view toward Tomanek Hall and the walking plaza between the two buildings.
- Large windows on the west side of the building are now complete.
- The new west door was installed as a third entrance to the building, right across from Malloy Hall and the parking lot.
- Metal wall framing in the Phase 1 area is near completion on all levels.
- Sheetrocking has well underway on the main level.
- Sheetrocking continued on the upper level in the Honors College, Dean’s Suite, the Fenwick Reading Room, and Special Collections Vault. Some areas have even been painted!
- “Storefront” glass frames have been installed on the upper level, preparing for a glass wall or window for group study rooms, the Fenwick Reading Room, and the Special Collections Vault.
- Some cabinets and finished casework have been installed on the upper level.
- Lower-level air equipment, associated mechanical equipment, and the exterior chiller have been installed.
- The new roof installation has begun.
