An overall site plan can be found on the last page of the update. This will help readers gain a better understanding of where on-site work is being performed.
During the week of April 1st, crews continue to focus on enclosing the building by framing and sheathing of the exterior wall continued at Area’s C & B during the first half of the week, but rain Wednesday & Thursday caused these crews to focus on interior framing and return to the exterior wall on Friday. Installation of the roofing system also occurred around the weather this week. Installation of metal windows continued at the east and north elevations in Area C. Crews continued framing interior walls in different capacities on all floors in Areas C and Area B. The plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and fire protection subcontractors continued installing piping, conduit, hangers, and ductwork in Area’s C and B, while installing underground drainage piping in Area A.
