Leftovers
 Sep 1, 2004 ...mailboxes installed. |
 Sep 1, 2004 More sidewalk pouring along Church Street view from the fourth floor. |
 Sep 1, 2004 The Green Roof. |
 Sep 1, 2004 Closeup of the grass which was planted over the course of several days, by two beautiful women, known as the "plant people". Are any amateur botanists able to identify the species? |
 Aug 2004 The soil was pumped-up to the roof by a truck parked on Dalhousie; it was spread over plastic "egg-cartons" interspersed with clay rocks. |
 Sep 3, 2004 Paving stone installation begins. |
 Sep 8, 2004 Main stairs to the Lower Level. |
 Sep 8, 2004 Paving is mostly finished; the lights and bushes remain. |
 Sep 8, 2004 You don't realize how noisy the building is, until you step into the acoustically perfect Auditorium shown here with only the stage, the steps and sides lit. The screen is not big-- it's behind the center speaker. Perhaps we can look forward to a TIFF premiere next year. |
 Sep 8, 2004 The lighting (4 main banks, side-banks, foot-lights, stage-pots, dimmer) and screen controls in the Auditorium. |
 Sep 2004 Fully lit Auditorium; foot-lights are visible; the base of each aisle seat has duplex plug (the small white boxes) for laptop users. I don't know whether the sound system is 5.1 Surround as the podium was not fully operational. |
 Sep 14 2004 Installing the street lights. |
 Sep 14 2004 Completed installation of the lights, viewed from the fourth floor. |
 Sep 23, 2004 The high temperatures in the south-wing labs required some adjustments of the air-handlers. |
 Sep 27, 2004 First floor, south corridor along Church St. |
 Sep 23, 2004 Fourth floor, south corridor. The blue sign on the left elevator doors reads "Elevator temporarily out of service"; this elevator was the only one in operation during the move and perhaps that has taken a toll. It is a surprise to have an elevator require maintenence so quickly into its lifetime. |
 Sep 27, 2004 A night view looking north along Church-- the unlit patches along the corridors are due to the occupancy sensors shutting off the lights to save energy. |
 Sep 27, 2004 The Church-Gould corner sidewalk construction causes quite a traffic jam on Church. |
 Sep 27, 2004 A close-up view from the corner outside. |
 Sep 27, 2004 Another close-up view from the inside of the building. |
