Construction
Architects are working on the schematic designs for the library expansion. It’s exciting to know that this progress is underway as they will likely finish this phase by Valentine’s Day. Then we move into the engineering blueprinting. If you haven’t enjoyed the model on display, be sure to check it out.
The busy schedule so far this month affirms even more how important the expansion is.
