Week 6 - If these Walls Could Talk...

Progress is not hard to see...but sometimes it's hard to watch.

This week, we added stairwells, banquet hall walls, and the start of the elevator shaft to the new Parish Center. Exclusive photos are available in our photo album. That's the good news.

The bad news: this week we also say goodbye to the old Parish Center. Through many years, this building served us well. Starting next Tuesday, the parish offices will operate out of the temporary space in the Youth Room off of Van Buren St. As we say goodbye, we have a few parting shots to remember her by.

The building committee met this week with the electrical engineer from Wakely to finalize network locations and go over the electrical site plan. One nice feature: all of the overhead lines that run around the church will be buried during construction, which should really clean up the view of the church! We also surveyed the existing phone distribution system in preparation for the release of the technology specification. This week we'll also send out a target clarification to a few of our furniture bidders, clarifying specific models and options and asking for updated pricing. The committee and staff will meet June 7th to view samples and select the winning bidder(s).

Looking hopefully to the future...
