As the weather helps construction crews make progress on the final layer of the Hagfors Center roof, crews prepare the steel structure on the stairwells and lobby for installation of the glass curtain wall in the coming weeks. Following is a summary of construction work expected on the Hagfors Center this week.
Construction Site Work
-
The base of the rooftop greenhouse is under construction. Stairwell work. Crews will begin installing the glass curtainwall on the west stairway this week.

- Lobby exterior. Work continues this week on the horizontal steel support for the three-story glass lobby enclosure. The concrete columns will be uncovered for this work, and then recovered after the horizontal steel support installation is complete in order to protect them during ongoing construction work in the lobby area.

Installation of the white, reflective roof is underway, weather permitting. Roof work. Weather has slowed installation of the final roofing layer, but some progress was made last week, The high roof (the roof of the fourth floor) should be done this week.
