Renovations are moving along swiftly at our new home! The current target for completion of phase one is the second full week of November. The closer to November we get the firmer our move in date will become. We will need volunteers to help move furniture stored in the restroom to allow construction workers to complete upgrades. Be on the lookout for volunteer requests in the near future.

- Finish hanging and finishing drywall on 2nd & 3rd Floors.
- Finish MEP rough-ins and get inspected on the 1st floor.
- Start insulation & drywall at 1st floor.

Exterior
The fencing for the back of the property and surrounding the play area is expected to be installed in the next 2-3 weeks. Planning for the site sketch has begun. The site sketch is the first stage in the process for the site plan. We will be submitting the site sketch to the city for review and comment. We expect feedback mid November. The site plan will outline the changes we are planning for exterior spaces. The building change of use did not trigger a site plan so one does not need to be approved prior to moving into 64 TJ Drive. Preliminary plans listed below:
FIRST LEVEL
Continued progress is being completed on level 1. Below is a primary classroom and the bathroom rough ins for 14 in toilets and a low sink for tiny hands.
SECOND LEVEL
