School Street garage closure
Work continues on the School Street garage and remains focused on steel work for the new south stair tower, installation of waterproofing membrane and lighting. Lighting work is nearly completed. The contractor recently installed new LED fixtures on the roof level which are brighter, more energy efficient and easier to maintain. (The original 1985 poles were salvaged and repainted to reduce costs).
Closure this weekend: The garage will be closed Friday, Sept. 20 from 6 p.m. to Monday, Sept. 23 at 7 a.m. in order to accommodate membrane work.
