Progress summary

The hall is progressing well and has reached ‘lock up’ stage with the roof on. Other progress includes:

The performance area is taking shape, with the stage and the chair store almost finished and the stage curtains and the stage being prepared for hanging the curtains.
We have fitted the hall’s structural flooring.
We are currently installing timber linings and ‘echo panels’ in the walls, which are designed to soak up sound to minimise noise for the school and surrounding community.
The building is finally losing its raw construction look, with internal windows in, and the first coats of paint being applied, and the individual rooms like the kitchenette, bathrooms, and corridor are now clearly defined.
