Making Solid Changes: the countdown to big conversions at MSC
By Mia D. Parrett
--DAY FORTY-NINE--
What’s happening now?
Pouring our strong foundation
Now that all of the underground utilities have been placed and configured, such as the underground electricity and plumbing, some areas are beginning to have a more permanent base. The footing is currently being poured for the Construction Trades yard, as well as the Auto Body yard. The Administration section of the new building is finishing up with their floor pouring, and the underground utilities are completely done on the entire West side of the building. Within the coming months, the parking lots are expected to be poured next.
Framing the picture we call MSC
The progress is only continuing as underneath the construction, things are finalized and the Jokake construction team begins to move forward-or upward, rather. The new maintenance building’s exterior walls are currently in progress. On the original building, the walls are all framed, and the mechanical and electrical work will begin shortly. Next week, the dry walling for the original building’s new structure will begin. Soon, the crew will begin to place pipe hangers back into the ceiling that carry running water pipes for chillers and air conditioning. As soon as those are placed sometime this week, the actual pipes will arrive soon after.
What’s next?
The next area of maintenance and construction will happen along Buckeye Road in the following weeks. The Cafeteria, IKON Copy Center, Staff Lounge and Youthbuild will all be relocated by the end of October. Stay updated with this blog, and make sure you are informed about the latest construction information at MSC!
