The base or floor of the expanded building has been poured and is now curing.\u00a0 Heavy equipment is kept off of the surface to avoid damage.<\/p>\n

In this photo, you may be able to discern a differerence in surface color.\u00a0 The areas near the top of the screen – future Teen Area and Maker Space – are made of a different blend of concrete which will later be polished for a finished design feature.<\/p>\n

Below (left), is a rendering of the Maker Space by our architect, FEH Design.\u00a0 <\/a>Below (right) is a close-up of the concrete containing more sediment creating a stronger base for the project. This would be an area of flooring that will not be polished.<\/p>\n
