Construction Update...March 7th

It’s an exciting time at the Centre and this is the first of our weekly construction updates.

Here is what has happened so far this week:

· A temporary room has been created in the red lobby.  You may have seen it going up and it will house some of our staff during the project.  A huge thanks to our very own Vince Dreyer who put the walls up himself this week and the CIP who have been moving the heavy stuff downstairs.

· An opening has been prepped in the weight room that will be completed on Sunday that will be the new opening to the gymnasium during the project.  This work was also done by Vince.

Highlights for the week of March 11th through the 17th:

· The gymnasium will be closing at 8 pm on Saturday night.  We will be moving Kids Kove into the gym on Sunday and starting on Monday, March 12, Kids Kove will be in the gym until the completion of the expansion project.  For members who use Kids Kove you will need to enter the gym through the weight room.  The gym will no longer be open for shooting hoops.  We apologize for having to close the gymnasium but it was our best option to expedite the construction process.

· The old, two story side of the Centre will be emptied and while it may appear that nothing is happening, over the course of the next week we will be cutting off power to that side of the building along with flushing out all the piping that supports the steam boiler.  This has to be done so we can get the old side of the building ready to be torn down, which is scheduled to happen March 21-23.

We will do our very best to provide you with 24 hours notice when changes to the normal routine have to be made.  You can also follow the progress through our web site which has a link to our Centre blog.  Once we get to April 1st (no fooling) most of the inside work will be complete and we should have fewer interruptions.
