Once again, work is continuing at a pace on the new Grant Thorold Library; following the Christmas period and recent wintry weather. Understandably there is some concern that the contractors may have fallen behind the proposed schedule; but it appears that things are still well on track.   

The Polar walls have now been built up to their finished height and they should be completed, along with the steel work is more or less finished (see the photograph below, which was taken today) – and this should be complete by the end of the week. The next couple of weeks will see work on the internal walls, the roof joists and decking being erected, so it will soon begin to look like a building!   

In the meantime, the plants for the green wall are already being cultivated in their greenhouses, so should be ready for planting into the wall at the right time.
