Trees have now been chopped-up and cleared, and excavating has gone by quickly. Looks like a nice level area has been cleared where the parking lot will be, so that will probably be filled-in with gravel later on. I’m still not sure about the foundation type where the building sits though, maybe slab on grade, maybe not; they’re currently excavating in that area. I’m looking forward to seeing this go up- I’ll admit, I think the design looks nice. It was done locally by Chiang O’Brien Architects (the same group that designed Ithaca College’s beautiful new boat house on the inlet).
