If youโ€™ve driven down Clifton Avenue in the past couple of weeks, surely youโ€™ve noticed the construction going on. (โ€œYes, I have,โ€ I can hear you saying to your computer screen, โ€œand donโ€™t call me Shirley!โ€)

The road closures were the most obvious sign of progress this past month, and as frustrating as it was, those closures allowed construction crews to hook our new building up to utilities. With that complete, weโ€™re beginning to see movement in the vertical direction. The first phase is the two cinderblock towers being erected right now. Those will house the stairwells and elevator that will make every part of the building accessible โ€“ including the green rooftop! Later this month, the steel frame of the building will begin, and the full shape of the building will become visible.
