We have been dismantling the large storage cupboards within the library area to store for re-use on completion. The main entrance hall and the old redundant area which used to be the reception which has the display units which display the trophy’s and the sliding glass were dismantled and disposed.

The bench desk behind the specified area, and the left of this area, the old wooden doors with Georgian wire vision panels and door frames were also dismantled and disposed. 

 

In the library area the staged raised area with reception desk with glass panels and framework behind and either side walls which divide the office area / main reception were also demolished and some of the furnishings were set aside for re-use.

 

A full survey has been completed of the walls to confirm if there are any load bearing in the area and as a result they were found not to be load bearing.

 

There are 4 structural columns that will remain in situ of the specific areas, as these are the main supports for the upper areas. 

 

3 pairs of double doors were removed and set aside for re-use (the best of the 3 pairs). 

 

Carpet dressings were lifted in specified areas and disposed.
