Construction is well underway on the new library as well as on “associated projects.” Associated projects are those that make sense to do now when we are under construction but are not not officially part of our project. One such project is the enhanced waterproofing and strengthening of the entire Onyx plaza. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what this associated project entails:
Old cement layer removed
The “Terminator” which scrapes off old waterproofing
Carbon fiber adhered to the underside of the waffle slab (view of the ceiling from inside the library)
