Exterior Nearing Completion


Now that the window frames are in place, the glass installation has begun. Many of the square side windows are complete and work continues on the installation of glass in the large feature windows. This gets the project very close to complete enclosure. Here are a few more details of what to expect in fall:

Exterior Work/Roofing


The exterior work is progressing well with stucco and stone cladding nearly complete. This façade treatment is a nice complement with the Church. The flat portions of the roof have been completed and the peaked sections are expected to be done in the coming weeks.

Interior Work

Interior work has been started in the south-east 3-storey portion of the building as roof work was completed over this section first. Steel studs, electrical rough-in and data/security units have been installed. Drywall should be completed soon. Interior work will then progress through the building and out towards the main entrance.

Furniture, Flooring and Shelves

The selection of furniture for the branch should be completed soon. Flooring treatments have been selected and Library staff have been working on the shelving layout required.

Inside Peak

The Thursday, August 9th edition of the Georgetown Independent featured a full page story on the Georgetown Branch construction project. See the newspapers website for some interior constructions photos at http://www.theifp.ca/.

Looking Ahead

Landscaping will begin in September and October. We remain on schedule with the move from the temporary site planned for December, and the opening of the building in January.
