Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #30


There is more to developing a site than just putting up a building.  Surface water management for the Shillman site includes an infiltration system designed to capture and infiltrate storm-water, keeping water on site and protecting neighboring properties and Hop Brook.  In this photo, you can see conservation land to the left and the Shillman House parking lot and building to the right.


There is so much progress inside Shillman House.  The shell of the two Shillman elevators is now completed, including the mechanical and electrical systems.  The elevator doors have been installed.  Interior finishes will be completed at the end of the construction process.  The elevator won't become operational until the building's life safety systems and egresses are complete.  With these two elevators, Shillman House will be universally accessible.
