New hallway drinking fountain

Richard Lammers installed the new drinking fountain in the main hallway last week, and it looks great. Below are the BEFORE & AFTER photos:

Chapel Lobby is 90% complete

The lobby of the chapel has been completely repainted, the new chandelier has been installed, and the seating is in place. The impression upon entering the chapel at night is stunning and dramatic:

Creative Destruction

Last week we removed the entire suspended ceiling from the future Gallery hall and were thrilled to see that above it were nicely laid-out concrete structures and beams. Instead of putting in another less than desirable suspended ceiling, we now plan to leave the ceiling exposed for a much more dramatic effect. The current maze of electrical conduits will be rerouted to run along the concrete beams and have an orderly appearance. New track lighting will be mounted on the beams to illuminate the artwork on the walls below.


Carpentry work has been continuing inside the chapel, where the stage has been extended out several feet and an elevated platform along the north wall is being constructed where some of the old pews will be re-used as high table seating.
