Subject: Lobby Renovation and Facade Lighting Project
Vanguard Lofts is pleased to announce Lobby Renovation and Facade
Lighting Project has begun! This project is the last of the projects
our association has budgeted for 2008, and will greatly enhance the
community in which we live.
Project Description: New stone tile flooring will be installed in the
lobby, mailroom, and elevator. Walls in the lobby will also be painted,
and new wood trim will be installed. The wall mounted lighting fixtures
located in the guest parking area and the two fixtures over main entry
doors on Throop and Van Buren will be replaced with new architectural
fixtures. The most dramatic change will be the installation of facade
washing light fixtures mounted on each masonry pier along the Throop and
Van Buren sides of the building. These light fixtures will be mounted
at 9', and will have two lamps; one will be a focused spotlight that
will shine up the masonry pier, and the other will be a flood light that
will illuminate the sidewalk below. These fixtures will improve both the
security and appearance of our building during nighttime.
Lastly, resident Michael Peterman has fabricated two stainless steel
address signs for the building. These will be mounted on the masonry
pier at the corner of Throop and Van Buren, and will make our address
more prominent to visitors.
Project Schedule:
October 8th-October 20th: Electrical conduit installation
October 13-October 20th: Tile and carpet demolition. Stone tile
installation. Paint and wood trim.
October 20th-November 3rd: Light fixture installation
Please note that these dates are our best estimate at this time.
Weather and delivery of the light fixtures may have an effect on this
schedule and or the work may go faster than outlined above. Updates and
changes to this schedule will be communicated to all owners.
Traffic Flow during construction:
During the carpet and ceramic tile demolition, stone tile installation,
and painting, residents will be directed not to use the front lobby,
mailroom, or front elevator during construction hours. Caution tape and
signs will be posted directing residents to the other exits. First
floor residents may wish to close their curtains during working hours
for privacy, as the contractor will utilize ladders for installation of
electrical conduit on the exterior of the building.
IN ORDER TO ENSURE A TIMELY COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT AND ENSURE
CONSTRUCTION COSTS DO NOT INCREASE, WE NEED ALL RESIDENTS TO COOPERATE.
OWNERS ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THEIR TENANTS ABIDE BY THIS
MEMO.
Guest Parking:
The contractor will utilize two guest parking spaces for the duration of
the project during the daytime. Please notify your guests to utilize the
space nearest the garbage dumpster. Cars parked in the spaces after
10/8/08 will be towed.
Feel free to contact the board or First Properties with any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,
The Vanguard Lofts Board of Managers
