Current construction includes adding a new elevator in the west end of the building rotunda and replacing the current elevator in the east end of the rotunda. Many of the current Operation Bold Move activities in the Old Historical Building are out of the public view. Yet many people who have never seen the heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment are still likely to be aware of them. Although they haven't viewed the systems, people who work in the building have suffered their effects - either being too hot or too cold much of the time. Therefore we doubt we have to convince anyone that there was a need to replace the building mechanical systems.
Work is underway to remove old systems and install new ones.
This is the term we use to describe space planning because every move depends on something else. Because of the domino effect, construction in the Capitol is affecting Operation Bold Move. The Judicial Branch will temporarily move to the Lucas Building at the close of the legislative session so work can be completed in that area of the Capitol. The Judicial offices will be located in the fourth floor of the Lucas in the area formerly occupied by the Consumer Advocate's office. The temporary move will be made after the legislative session and is likely to last through early September, 1998.
