Meanwhile, the carpet for the entire renovation area arrived and has been stored till needed, along with the greenstone to fill gaps and make repairs that was received and stored earlier in December.
Work continues on the restrooms where fixtures are still being installed and plumbing finished.
Part of the new air conditioning unit for the copier room was installed today. It is expected the unit will be operational soon, and the entire project is scheduled to be completed this month. Balancing with the 1st AHU, the cooling system, etc., will take several weeks. The National Agricultural Library's new engineer, Keith O'Brien, joined the NAL staff today, and, among other activities, received a tour of the penthouse and the AHU-2 and other equipment, and the First Floor Renovation area conducted by Howard Day. Temporarily, Keith O'Brien will be using the room next to Howard Day's office as his office and can be contacted on the same phone numbers as Howard Day or through the Admin Office.
