-Plumbing/Electrical etc is being worked on now.
-There is a crew of 150 working on the site 6 days a week, from 7am-10pm at night.
-They are ahead of schedule but wouldn’t say how much.
-The tower next door has a foundation gap of two and half feet and is a month behind schedule but are catching up.
-Regent St will be completely redone, with higher end street materials, landscaping, lighting, art installations, and flow pretty seamlessly from City Creek Center, with a focus on leading walkers through the mid street walkway to Main St, but will also continue on down to Second South.
-The EPAC is scheduled to open April of 2016.
-The water pump system starts on the roof, go down a piping system to holding stations in the basement and pumped out to the Main St water line. Sounded pretty nuts.
-There will be art installations all throughout the foyer and they met with the artists on Monday and they seemed super psyched about it.
-Parts of the foundation have 5’ of concrete, so that the audience won’t be able to feel Trax pass by.
What they are accomplishing, with such speed is quite remarkable, especially since both construction crews of the Tower and EPAC have to work around and with each other. No word on when the Tower will be completed.
