Take a Peek at Photos of Our Interior Renovation Project!

July 27, 2023 centralcity Uncategorized

It’s been fun for us to see people using the new furniture located throughout the public spaces.
The comfy couch and chairs located next to the fireplace are really popular!
️️

Installation of the new flooring in the: meeting room, staff work spaces, kitchen, and storage room was completed today.

Replacement doors in both of the meeting room closets have been installed.

The beautiful oak mantel for the fireplace has been installed.

The beautiful see-thru electric fireplace is now in use.

Two walls have finished being pushed back.
The first one is located in the meeting room closet. This wall was pushed back into the staff area, to make room in the closet to store extra meeting room tables and chairs.
The other wall that was pushed back is in the storage hallway. This will allow for the relocation of one of the workspaces.

Stainless steel self-retracting stepstools were installed under the sinks in each of the public restrooms. These will safely allow children to reach the soap dispensers and sink while washing their hands.
Thanks for all of your patience during this exciting renovation!
STAY TUNED for more updates about the progress of this exciting
