The new Lawndale Community Center project is approximately 11 months into construction. In the spring issue we provided a photo gallery with one photo from each month of construction, beginning in July 2010, when ground was broken and taking us through January 2011. As the 41,000 square foot building (approximately 25,000 square feet of indoor programming space on the second and third floors) continues to take shape, the excitement in the community and momentum for the opening of the center continues to build. On March 15, 2011, the “Big Pour” took place in which 1,200 cubic yards of concrete was poured in one single day! Onlookers witnessed approximately 15 cement trucks per hour coming and going. Subsequently, the structural steel phase of the project began and was completed in the early part of May. At the time of this writing, the framing and dry wall phase of the project is being anticipated, followed by the rough plumbing and electrical work. Despite the torrential winter rains, the project continues to remain close to being on schedule – an incredible feat!.
