During February, the Living Hope Design Team will continue its work with the architect, interior designer, engineers, and construction managers. We’ve moved into the Construction Document phase, during which all plans are detailed in words and blueprints so that we’re prepared to get bids from suppliers and trades. As things stand, we expect to go out to bid in early March.
Meanwhile, work has begun in some parts of the project we’d determined are better as DIY–do it yourself. These include a facelift for room 106, which will serve as a temporary office space as we juggle for construction, and consolidating, decluttering, and organizing several decadesworth of supplies, mementoes, and equipment. Watch the bulletin or online communications for details, or contact Lois Maassen or the church office to put yourself on a volunteer mailing list.
The Living Hope Capital Campaign Team also continues its work, tracking pledges and participation, overseeing financing for our construction phase, and strategizing about closing the gap between our project cost and identified resources.
