Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #27


Site work on the Weinberg Campus continues in anticipation of pavement placement and final grades.  One can really envision what it will feel like to drive up to Shillman House in June when the building is complete! The siding is near completion on the two east-facing wings, and the detail has progressed as well.  Architect DiMella Shaffer has designed a beautiful, functional and very green building for our future residents to enjoy.




Inside Shillman House, the activity is moving ahead at an amazing pace.  Wiring for cable and communications are going in.  Hallway walls are being painted.  The apartments are really taking shape.  Each will be equipped with a complete kitchen, including ceramic tile, ample maple cabinets, and granite counter tops.  They each have full refrigerator, oven/stove and dishwasher.  The kitchens are simply lovely.

Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #26


Shillman House is now almost 60% completed!  Siding, windows, shingles and detail on the northeast wing are nearly finished.  Soon the exterior of the entire building will be done.  Following installation of the underground utilities, the land on the Weinberg Campus has been leveled and readied for future finished grade.


Much is happening on the inside of Shillman House.  The mechanical room has been transformed.  The boilers and other equipment have been installed.  Now that the gas, electricity, water and geothermal systems are in, soon the Shillman heating system will be operational for the winter.  Now that's progress!
