Well things are really going strong.  We haven’t updated for a while as not much has changed in terms of the work being done.  The good news is the work is getting done and everything is currently on schedule!

Here is what continues to happen:

· The masonry continues to grow taller and the walls will be complete by next Tuesday.

· The entrance remains on the south end of the building.

· The gymnasium opened back up after the spring break week and a small electrical fire from the outside of the building.  All has been cleaned up and use of the gym continues.  No one was in the gym at the time of the event.

Items for the coming week (April 30-May 5):

· Structural steel will arrive next Tuesday, May 1 and the pre-cast plank will be arriving the following week on Monday, May 7th.  These arrivals will cause the road right in front of the Centre to be closed periodically to allow for the crane and the trucks to do their work.  We recommend parking on the side streets on May 2 and May 3 and again the following Monday, May 7.  It’s exciting as this means soon the new areas will have a roof!

· Landscaping pre-work will begin to clean up the south end of the building.

· An additional emergency exit door will be added to the gymnasium.

· We do not anticipate any internal work to be done until after May 5th.

Summer Hours start April 30

While it doesn't quite feel like summer yet we will start our summer hours on Monday, April 30.  The change has the Centre closing at 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday.  All other hours remain the same.

We also will not have Kids Kove on Sunday's after April 29th.

We'll go back to our regular hours in September.

Front Entry Way Moved to South of the Building

Today the front entry way was blocked off in the next phase of the remodeling project.  Members and guests will now need to enter through the doors on the south side of the building closest to the locker rooms.  Please remember to come down to the welcome center to scan in.  This will be the new entrance until the end of the project.
