which shows the progress that has been made on
site over the last two weeks.
The steel frame for the atrium between A building

Holiday.
After testing three different shades of mortar we
chose the darker grey mortar as shown on the left
of this picture for all of the engineering brickwork
around the ground floor of the new building.
The concrete lift shaft will house the new lift
providing access to all the upper floors of A and B
building plus to first floor of the new building.

alarm cabling onto the ceiling of the ground floor

columns inside the building. This one is in the new
