The recent rains are testing our newly installed waterproofing! To date, 80% of the waterproofing substrate preparation and 50% of the waterproofing assembly have been completed, and they are performing beautifully!
Bird’s eye view of the plaza where the NW and SE quadrants are almost completed.
- East Mall: Entrance from Post Street – Detour through the center of the Plaza until late January/early February when a temporary path will be installed alongside the building.
- West Mall: Entrance from Post Street – New detour through the center of the Plaza begins late January/early February.
- Garage Work: Scaffolding remains in both upper and lower garage levels and ramp through mid-2025. Drive cautiously and follow posted detours signs and please do not walk on the ramp between levels.
