Masonry work begins

After a lot of excavation work and ground preparation, the building footers are now being installed and masonry walls going up on the north and east side of the new building. This masonry work will continue for several more weeks.

Majority is also continuing work on the Nursery area. Framing work is finishing, and they are working on finishing drywall and doing some painting in that area.

Work on Parking Areas

Work is complete on the curbs, and the south and east parking areas are now ready for paving. Paving is expected to start on Tuesday, June 6th. During this week, parking in these areas will be temporarily effected; however, the lots will be available for services this coming weekend, June 10th and 11th.

Beginning June 17th and 18th, traffic flow through the parking areas will be changed, as the east drive around the building will be closed. Both Jackson Street entrances will remain open, the Wood Street and Riverview entrances will be open, and the west drive around the building will be open during this time.

Nursery Wing Remodeling Has Begun

We are now beginning the phase of construction where traffic into and out of the building will be affected. Remodeling work has begun in the nursery school wing. The South glass doors to the nursery wing (both from the courtyard side and the employee parking lot) will be closed beginning this week for all services indefinitely. The doors will only be used for emergency purposes to exit the building. The South stairwell in the nursery wing will be closed for traffic and only used for emergency purposes to exit the building. A construction barrier will be inserted across the North corridor in the nursery wing to prevent access to the construction area. The north nursery wing stairs will still be available to all traffic.

Please note that the RADC entrances and the church office entrance are still available for use from the back parking lots.
