Several important developments this week.
The external fire escape stairs began to be constructed. These will provide a safe exit from the education areas. Handrails to be fitted next week.
The lift was finally commissioned following the installation of the electricity meter. The lift offers access to all floors in the building.
The building management system, or BMS, was commissioned meaning that the underfloor heating and ventilation systems are now tested and working. Heating definitely not required during this heatwave!
The entrance doors to the main exhibition gallery have also been fitted.
Next week we hope to finally take delivery of the remaining windows. The fire escape handrail will be fitted along with handrails on the access ramps.
