DAK College Construction: Sky's the Limit! |

|
 The most striking addition to the college building this past month was the completion of the huge central skylight that towers five stories above the lower floor of the classroom building. The skylight will provide plenty of natural illumination to an atrium area, where students can congregate as they move between classes or during breaks. In addition to the skylight, pavers have been working to complete the smooth, reflective floor tiling, which makes the most of the light streaming in from the skylight. The stair tiles have also been completed in preparation for the finishing of railings and other necessary safety features that will need to be installed before classes can begin. With the addition of the reflective floor tiles and the abundance of natural lighting from the skylight, the formerly dark spaces have become much lighter, creating a much more cheerful atmosphere. Once the area is complete with tables and greenery it will be a wonderful place for students to congregate.
Other work begun in the past month includes preparation of the plastered concrete walls and gypsum board walls for painting, preparation for toilet partitions in the restrooms, and interior glass partitions and built-in counters in several areas of the building. All interior doors have been manufactured to order and will be assembled soon, and the false ceiling works are underway.
Even though the finish line is in sight for the engineers, contractors and construction workers who have been working so diligently these many months, BSB still needs your help to meet its fundraising goals for the DAK Capital Campaign. Please visit the construction update archive on our website to see how far we've come, and make a gift to the Capital Campaign to get us the rest of the way!
