Finishes


The air was abuzz with excitement in Administration late afternoon yesterday. The Colour Committee members as well as Board Chair, Greg Grondin, gathered. Jennifer and Christine from In2Space arrived with a wheeled cart full of samples of paint colours, carpeting, tiles etc. They carefully laid these out in groupings for us to ponder. We spent two hours swapping and changing our minds and rearranging and we finally came up with two sets of finishes, one for the two top floors and one for the bottom, that we adore. In fact, we'll have to keep Ruth away from some of the tiles as she is quite attached to them. We want to share our decisions with you and will do so at our next staff meeting on Friday, June 17th. Please don't worry if you aren't able to attend the meeting. They will be on display in Administration afterwards for a while and I would be happy to walk you through how we will be using them.

Demolition has begun at the Library. Paul Giza was able to take some photographs of the progress made and he was excited to report that the corkboard is being scraped off the walls with a shovel. The cedar slats on the ceilings have been removed and taken apart and some have even been used to make a sawhorse. The rest will be finished in some way and will become Internet workstations and sign boards outside of meeting rooms.

  1. OK, so I have a problem with petting tiles. It's the texture! And the colours! And the variation of frosted and shiny! Let's just say that I'm excited for the Revitalized Library and if you ever can't find me after we move back, check the staff lounge near the tiled wall... *squeal!*
