Project Update While the weather continues to get colder, the crews on the project exterior continue to push forward. Vos Glass has started installing the west curtain wall system. Since they started framing last week, they have over 905 frames in place and are getting the system ready for the glass. We have also started receiving deliveries of the composite metal panels for the east elevation. AMI and Bouma Corporation are working together to install the weather barrier on the east elevation and the composite panels. Bouma is also wrapping up the main canopy framing. Sheathing installation started this week, which will allow AMI to scan it for fabrication purposes.
On the interior of the building we have multiple temporary heaters running to keep the temperature in the 45-55째 F range. G3 Technologies needs to maintain these temperatures for their pedestal adhesive to work. G3 has made significant progress on floors 2 and 3, and they will be ready to move down to the 1 st floor in the next week. With G3 moving along well, the pressure is on our MEP trades to keep moving and readying the lower two levels. Everyone has met this challenge head-on and is preparing the space faster than expected. All the trades continue to work precisely and have a great attitude under the stress of the timelines we are all under. Thank you for your hard work, and Happy Holidays!
