The first concrete pour is in and more are soon to follow as the construction site begins to hum with activity. The initial pour was for the foundation of the building, along all of the load bearing walls of the structure. Next week workers will return to the site with more concrete to pour the floor slab for the office portion of the building. Days later they will return and make a third pour, for the studio spaces. That pour will be critical as the studios are acoustically isolated from the rest of the structure to prevent noise and vibration from interrupting recordings and live broadcasts. Once the last of the concrete pours is finished, framing will begin and the site will be transformed as the building finally takes shape.
Follow the progress on construction of the new broadcast center for Valley Public Radio. Our new facility is designed to engage the community and provide a strong foundation for the station for decades to come.
