On the other side of the wall

If you've been to the Library this week, no doubt you've heard all kinds of hammering and other noises on the second floor. So what's happening on the other side of that wall? The pictures below say it all:

As in, DEMOLITION:

Here's a view through a window into what used to be an office. If you look through the metal studs, you can see the main part of the library's second floor.

Pretty cool, huh?

Some people have been asking us about our beautiful vaulted ceilings on the second floor, as seen below:

Don't worry... they're not going anywhere! The vaulted ceiling is being removed ONLY in the areas that will be under the acoustical ceilings in the new office areas. All of the vaulted ceiling that will be exposed to view when the project is complete will remain as-is.

In other news, get ready to see the framework for the additions popping up outside soon... steel beams have been delivered!
