CNSTRCTN Vol. X, #4 Full-Steam Ahead Almost

Memories, like birds--fleeting.  One must grasp and hold in heart's hands.

The construction crews were here in force on Holy Thursday, the first day of the students'
spring break.  One worker made mention to blogger that now they could make noise!  She rejoiced with him.

In the photo you see one of the few room divisions beginning to emerge at the east end of the CLC.  Perhaps they are intended to accommodate small groups of students working together on the same project--certainly not a new venture, but now more convenient and out of the hallways.

Looking at the large area of the CLC you can see that a new doorway has been broken through from the faculty room.  Since the door closest to the new windows used to be the outside door, a new outside entry is being worked on where the last faculty room window next to the original outside door was. (If you got lost in this last sentence, blogger bumped her nose three times.)



What you see to the right is a development developing (yes) on the second mezzanine level, aka known as the library level (old).  The beam by this time is up crossing the room pretty much where the photo suggests, i.e. straight up.  Recall that that area will end up being three classrooms (blogger thinks it's three, but maybe it's two.  We are all learning as this adventure unfolds, and especially if we don't have easy access to the plans.)



Now to the other end of the construction site, things have been
moving right along in the last few days of March.  More concrete blocks have been delivered near and in the new chapel extension, ready for the end of rain/snow.  Things at this stage of progress always look so messy, but ah, to think ahead...





                                                                           
 Nearby is the site of the future outside entrance to the chapel and the elevator hallway.  The general area of the elevator hallway becomes a little clearer in the photo since you can see the removal of a section of windows.  There's pretty much work left to be done in this whole area, even on the inside, as you can imagine.  That whole window unit used to be in the last classroom at the end of Hilton Hall (the main hall on the first floor.  Is that name for the hallway new to you?)  Before we end March's story, and looking at this last photo, note the elevator shaft-well in front of the windows-that-used-to-be.
Leaving well enough alone at this juncture, blogger will let you go and rest up for another exciting adventure of CNSTRCTN, as we launch into April and Vol. XI.  Happy first week of April as it resonates with the Easter miracle.
