Activity Center - January Status Update
As of January 28, 2024, the construction project continues to move forward, and a substantial completion continues to be expected for the end of February. Labor shortages have now subsided, and activity has been accelerating despite a few inclement weather days.
Exterior Progress:
- The brick installation has reached 75% completion, with the front lobby section and two sides of the back of the building fully completed.
- Siding work on the entire building is now fully completed.
- Over the next two weeks, we anticipate the full completion of the exterior shell, including painting and the finalization of metal roof, metal fascia, gutters, and downspouts installations.
Interior Progress:
- Substantial progress has been made on rough-ins, with plumbing, HVAC, audio-visual, security cameras, and fire alarms now mostly completed.
- Electrical rough-ins are nearing completion following the delivery of previously delayed parts.
- Sprinkler installation remains a key focus, with pending approvals causing slight delaysa challenge we are actively addressing.
- Full insulation coverage has been completed around the peripheral and interior walls.
- Drywall installation across all three levels is underway.
- Closing of the walls and installation of interior doors are scheduled for early February.
Utilities:
WSSC certification has now been obtained and will permit the connection of the new building to water supply by month end. This will allow the completion of the front porch and stairs. PEPCO connection work continues and Washington Gas connection will also take place in February.
Upcoming Milestones:
With the above tasks in motion, we anticipate the remaining interior and exterior activities to progress seamlessly, towards a project completion by the end of February.
