Construction took place while the operations of the SJCC continued. Some of the youngest community center members, from the SJCC’s Early Childhood School, took a special interest in the construction work. GLY’s superintendent on the job took students on tours of the new auditorium, foyer, and library space to show them what was going on behind the scenes.
Each of the team members played a critical role in managing this project so successfully. It was clear they all held a deep commitment to driving the process and ensuring the space would be beautiful and completed on time and within budget.
