The project is well underway now and the majority of the interior space has been cleared out with the original materials left to shine. We have sand blasted the wood joists and begun stripping the interior brick using gel strippers and water. The original cast iron stair has also been sandblasted and has revealed so much more of the natural beauty of that material than usable any more.One of the masonry infills has been removed, too, it starts to give a good sense of how much light will be on the inside (even though it is now covered in plywood for security reasons).
Speaking of the interior, the design of the lobby space is coming along. Above is a sketch of what it might look like standing in the lobby. One of the materials we are exploring is beetle kill pine… they used it at the Biennial in the McNichols building and it looks great!
We are fortunate to have a B-cycle station right across the street from the building, hopefully we’ll be able to take good advantage of those to help us get around town.
We are still on schedule for a Thanksgiving move-in date with lots to do before then. Stay tuned!
