Views from all Over (The Willow Grove Branch)

Work at the Willow Grove Branch has continued on multiple fronts over the last several weeks. Now that the building has a roof, walls, windows and a facade, workers are moving forward with projects all over the property.

Sidewalks, curbs, driveway aprons are getting attention just off Davisville Road. The parking lot at the rear of the property has an edged area for landscaping, and in the shot from the roof of the building, you can see the newly completed storage shed.

On the interior of the building, soundproofing and insulation has made its way into the walls of the recital hall. Soundproofing is a significant challenge in the construction of a music building. While it's great to hear the strains of an aria waft through an open window of a second floor studio while you drive by the branch, it's another thing entirely for a student practicing her oboe to hear the same sound traveling through interior air ducts.
And file this next picture next to the nifty machines we showed you a few months ago. The main purpose of this roving robot (and it is remote controlled) is to tamp down earth and stone ahead of pouring concrete. It's basically a really heavy RC car, although it sort of looks like tiny version of something out of Star Wars.
As always, more photos from this month are available on Facebook. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave them in the comments.
