Breaking ground

It's here! It's here! Today is the day renovations began!

Seems so long ago that the Capital Campaign was started, and now here we are... breaking ground on the ground-floor.

Step 1 was to take down the drywall in the 39 Central Sq. side of the first floor, disconnect the electricity and start bundling those wires so they're out of the way.

Lots of wall-cutting & insulation taking-down going on around the space. It was great to talk to the RAW students after they'd looked through the windows and saw all the changes taking place. The air was filled with electricity, optimism, and dust.

It's crazy what can be done in a day!
