Exterior Work
Over the past few weeks high winds and extreme cold weather have slowed progress on all exterior work. The porcelain tiling was postponed because of cold temperatures affecting the adhesives. On warmer days, such as this past Wednesday, porcelain work has and will resume.
The railing system has been partially installed on the north and east walls on the podium and construction management is expecting the tempered glass, that will fill in the railing structure, in the next 2-3 weeks.
