| Winter has caught up with our new facility, slowing things down a bit :( |
In my last blog I think I jinxed us a little bit. I had said we were on schedule as January settled in and, of course, that’s when we got socked with all sorts of winter weather. For those of us who actually like winter and snow, it was nice to see, but for building purposes it is not a welcome sight. With the weather stabling again, we continue to make progress, but we have lost some time. Hopefully we can make up for this once we get closer to moving day.

Now, to update you on where we’re at. The building is really taking shape; nearly all of the interior walls are framed. You can actually walk through the facility now and imagine what each room will look and feel like when complete. The workflow too, can be imagined; how things will operate and where things will go. Of course it never takes long to fill space and once we start admitting patients, taking on new volunteers, interns and researchers and inviting the public out for on-site programming, the days when it seemed so big will be long gone. Either way you look at it, the reality is that we will have a much nicer, roomier, more efficient workspace then we could have imaged ten years ago.

On another note, our capital campaign continues to push on. We are well over three quarters of our way to our goal of $1.3 million. The support has been incredible and we are all so appreciative of everyone who has contributed.
