Hi everyone:

Things are still in full swing here at BML. Last week brought completion to our main front foyer/staircase area. This area received a major enhancement with a new ceiling, new lighting, and a refresh of the air handling area. New ceiling grids have also been installed in the new first and second floor areas. The second floor quiet area received its first coat of new paint and it looks great. There are pallets of new doors which will soon be hung on their new rooms and offices.

The result is much more clean looking, well-lit lobby. You can now see the first glimpses of the restroom fixtures, the tile looks really nice! Restrooms work marches on, on nearly every floor of BML including new restrooms in the TLC.

Prep work has begun on the tower entrance of BML. A new hand rail has been installed, the doors will be refinished and the signage over the door will be cleaned up and re-grouted as needed.

We anticipate more staff movement in the coming weeks as folks move to their new spaces. Soon, furniture will be arriving and reupholstered. Stay tuned!

So much is going on at Boatwright!

Over the last week major work has began on the third floor (TLC area) and the stairs leading up to it. A window is being installed to look into and out of the TLC. Down on the first floor the lobby and area near the main service desk has received a new ceiling grid/tile system. The same ceiling upgrade will be performed on the main stairwell.

The new study rooms are taking shape on the second floor including the three very neat looking individual study rooms. Staff offices also continue to take shape up on the second floor.

Work continues on the first floor collaborative areas. The posts that will hold the media walls have been installed. Also, the rear of the main service desk has been reworked and will now be a room and not a pass through. The new hallway in from the back door is now almost complete.

More to come later!
