The elevator lobby

There's been lots of work going on in the elevator lobby during the past few days. A beautiful tile floor was installed, and then covered for protection while the walls are being worked on. An electrician came and moved the elevator buttons and the arrows over the tops of the elevator doors out from the old wall so that they will be flush with the new wall. Now paneling is being installed on all the walls, it's just gorgeous, but involved almost constant use of an electric saw. Meanwhile, the busts of Yolanda and George Barco have been mounted in the alcove custom built for them opposite the elevators.
Meanwhile in the main part of the fourth floor a new circulation and reference desk is being assembled. The desk is circular and sits under the dome. Much excitement!
