Construction update from the Central Street Consortium

Now into December and moving toward the holidays, construction crews are completing field level precast stadia, as well as mechanical, engineering and plumbing yard brick veneer. Meanwhile, interior partitions continue throughout the stadium. At the loading dock, underground utilities continue with slab on grade to follow. Finally, ADA drink rails are being installed around the main level.
