Building Renovations: Phase 1
Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Blog entry by Ambrea Kuhn, The Leonardo's Fall 2009 Intern
The Leonardo building renovations are well underway! Last week I was able to check out the progress that has already been made. The renovations started in October with asbestos removal.

Our favorite part of the renovations is the bright orange carpet is gone!
Here's a short video detailing what will be upgraded .
After the asbestos removal is finished seismic upgrades will begin. Next, they'll upgrade some of the building's systems and other general improvements. After that, The Leonardo will move in to install our exhibits. All of that will wrap up just in time for opening day-- April, 15 2011, which also happens to be Leonardo da Vinci's 557th birthday.
