6/3/11 Beautiful New Floors





As we move into the homestretch, you will notice the framing of the new construction taking place, complete with drywall and paint.The most dramatic difference for our members and guests has been the completion of the beautiful new floors. As the weather brightens, so does our facility! Thanks again for all of your patience and support, Matt Merrill

5/18/11 Steady Progress
When you come into the branch you will notice that the new entrance doors to the gym are all framed out and that we continue to make good and steady progress. Keep your eyes and ears open for updates as we move into phases that will involve laying of concrete and may require some temporary room closures and/or alternate routes to different areas of the facility. Thanks as always for your excitement over the project, and your patience during the work! Matt Merrill Interim East Branch Associate Executive Director

5/10/11 Starting to take shape!


Future new opening to the gym		Where the new service desk will be

The expanded hole in the wall will be replaced by a bright new desk, and past the plywood is the new opening o our gymnasium. To really do the progress justice, you need to see it in person! Don't be dissuaded by the ard hats, we are fully operational and the impact on our building traffic to program areas is minimal, with no impact on our lifestyle center. See you soon!
