Plans are progressing on schedule for the chapter house renovations planned for the summer of 2017. Closing on the purchase of the two lots immediately to the South will occur in May. Engineering is complete for the new area, which will include the re-positioned sand volleyball court improved with lighting, as well as the extended parking lot.
Inside the house, the restrooms will be completely torn out and rebuilt, as will the ladies' powder room on the first floor. All plumbing will be replaced as part of this project. Engineering is close to complete on the installation of a new HVAC system to replace the old outdated hot water system. The new system will provide heating and cooling to each room. Additional work inside the house will be done during the summer of 2018 while the new addition is going up.
On the contributions front, support has been fantastic. We are currently at $1.8 million just three weeks into our campaign to raise $3 million for this summer's work! Our plans are to continue a limited campaign through May, then broaden the campaign with class captains as we work our way toward raising the estimated $8 million to complete the project. Thank you to all those who have supported our campaign so far!
