With the requisite permits and the construction team finally in place, construction activity at 91st Street kicked off over Dalton's winter break. Work included interior demolition and excavation of the cellar level for the new elevator.
Construction at Dalton's newly acquired building at 51 E. 91st street is expected to continue through the spring of 2010. Connections between Dalton's current FP facility and 51 will occur over the summer. Among other accomplishments, this stage of the project will make the First Program handicap accessible while also creating beautifully renovated and reconfigured spaces for science and house.
