Rebuilding Update - Getting there!

I just popped over to the Schermerhorn to take a look a the rebuilding efforts. Things certainly look a lot more complete since the last time I was there. The air handlers have arrived and are being installed in segments. It's a monumental task; when the Schermerhorn was original built, the air handlers were installed first so that the rest of the building could be constructed around them!

I also stopped by the kitchen, which had to be completely rebuilt. I was pleased to see that it too is coming together. In fact, there were a few snazzy new appliances already in place. The Food and Beverage team selected top of the line products from Electrolux to help them create the gourmet dining experience our patrons have come to expect. They are excited, and so am I!

Another kitchen shot:

Underneath Laura Turner Concert Hall, our chair wagon storage area - whose floor buckled due to the immense hydrostatic pressure from the flood - is showing signs of life. Here's a shot of the staircase used to get to the stage from our flat floor seating being built in this room. The original was a total loss.

I also saw some seats here:
Finally, no trip to the Schermerhorn worksite would be complete without seeing something completely unexpected. I snagged this pic of an engineer standing on top of the elevator near the musicians lounge.


Onward and upward!
