Since starting in May, the construction crew has demolished the old walkway surrounding the Library. The concrete foundation was removed, along with the railing around the walkway and staircases at the main entrance and east-side. Anyone in the vicinity of the Library will have noticed the drilling, dust, and piles of concrete.

Since demolishing the walkway, the construction crew has laid down the waterproofing and started to build the new staircases at the front and east-side of the building. They have recently begun building the accessibility ramp, which is being relocated to the front entrance, and are starting to build the foundation for setting the new railing.
