Copper color trim is going up on exterior overhang and roof, crews have heating/cooling diffusers are in place on 1st and 2nd floor columns and are finishing them up with wood detailing. The site is cut to rough grade and sidewalks and curb in on Center and 1st South are in place. Fire suppression is finished and elevators are in and waiting for inspection. Wall and floor tiles are in on all restrooms.

Brick and stone is in place. Masons are finishing calking and sealing of stone. Lights were delivered last week and Highland Electric continues to pull wires in preparation for installing fixtures. Exterior glass is in place. Insulation in both rotundas is complete as is the barrel roof. Framework for interior finishing of rotunda domes is currently being done. Much of library is painted in preparation for radiant ceiling panel placement. Cabinets and built-in shelving will begin next week as will installation of main stair treads.
