As the summer heat dies down and the leaves start to fall, we\u2019re seeing our historic renovation come together.<\/strong> During the summer our friends at Rafn Construction focused on strengthening the structure at the attic and roof levels, as well as installing the pathways and infrastructure for the building\u2019s new systems. While we love seeing the progress of the repairs on the building\u2019s exterior\u2014with the restored terra cotta and repaired roof\u2014it\u2019s the interior systems that have us most excited right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Structure and Seismic Improvements<\/p><\/div>\n

Roofing work started in September, which enabled the construction teams to begin performing moisture-sensitive work. They\u2019ve been installing the new elevator and hanging drywall in mechanical shafts and parts of the Forum (previously “The Downstairs”). But as the weather starts changing, it\u2019s time to get the roof and walls closed up, get heat into the building, and start putting in finish materials, such as drywall and plaster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing walls means finalizing all of the systems inside them. Ventilation, hot water radiators, refrigerant-based heating and cooling, AV wiring and power, sprinklers, fire alarms, and performance lighting are just a few of the systems they\u2019ve been installing and upgrading while the walls and ceilings are still open.<\/span><\/p>\n

The interior of the building may look like a jungle of conduit and scaffolding right now, but closing up the walls marks a major step toward making Town Hall feel like home again. As the rooms start to look like their old selves (and in plenty of cases, their new selves) we will have more and more opportunities to see these state-of-the-art systems at work. <\/span><\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to feel the year-round comfort of the climate control and put the state-of-the-art sound system through its paces\u2014and we want you there with us to experience it all next Spring!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
