Last week, the contractor installed the steel for the first level of Brise Soleil. In case you missed the May 1 project update, the Brise Soleil is a series of horizontal and/or vertical blades that help control the amount of sunlight in a building. The Brise Soleil will shade the new City Hall terraces.
Crews also continue to install the precast panels on the building. You can see the new panels along the back side of the building. The team has also completed the fifth level and is now working on the sixth level.
For this week’s project update, the team provided some great photos of the inside of the building.
The images in the slideshow show the framing that is taking place on the first floor. The wall studs are being installed, the ductwork is being installed, and views of where the new Raleigh City Council Chambers will be located.
I drove past just after 2AM last night and there were dudes on the 2nd floor working with head-lamp hardhats on!!! Talk about “working around the clock” !!!
