A Work in Progress

The construction of our new auditorium/classroom is something to behold. Sometimes, I like to watch the magic unfold from the library, or from the fourth floor patio if I need some fresh air. The thing that amazes me is that as it continues to take shape (right about now, they’re working on the outer walls, which are beginning to match the exterior of the tower and The Eye Center,) one can begin to get a sense of how magnificent it’s going to be!
