This photo was taken from the back of the building, it shows the Northwest corner (where the new Children’s department will be) of the building and depicts the progress made on steel erection. So far, the columns are installed, and beams and girders are in progress on levels 2 and 3. 12/24/25
This photo was taken from the back of the building, it shows the Northeast corner (where the new Meeting Room will be) of the building and depicts the progress made on steel erection. So far, the columns are installed, and beams and girders are in progress on levels 2 and 3. 12/24/25
This is a photo of the North Elevation showing the new addition in the foreground and the two wings, East and West of existing building. As an update to last month’s progress photo, please note that Stair C CMU wall and the elevator Shaft CMU wall are completed and the Scaffoldings are removed. Underground plumbing is ongoing but not visible given the angle the picture was taken from. 12/1/25
This view is from the parking lot area looking towards the new entry.  The Meeting room is on the left side, with the children’s room towards the right.  Perimeter foundation walls are complete, as well as footings for the new steel superstructure.  The Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) walls forming the new Stair and Elevator are in progress. 11/7/25
In October the outer walls are visible, as well as the future patio site.
