During these cold, winter months, W.E. O’Neil has continued to make progress on getting the main structure of the new theatre constructed. The vast majority of this work consists of putting up the precast concrete walls and the structural steel. With the exception of the lobby (structured out of glu-laminated wood and Port Orford Cedar timbers, along with glass), we have reached a point where the rest of the main structure is complete. Below are a few points of comparison to show where we are today compared to what the building will look like once the walls are covered in plaster, the glass windows/walls are installed, and the walls are covered in ivy:
