A Message from Stan Smith, Board President
Dear Members:
Teal Construction Company has been making great progress on the construction project for the Rockport Center for the Arts (RCA), Rockport Conference Center (The ROCC) along with the new Sculpture Garden. Here it is in bullets:
Site work continues around the perimeter of all buildings, from construction of exterior stairs, landings, retaining walls, sidewalks, loading docks and concrete paving.
Both buildings are moving along quickly from the installation of exterior wall treatments along with the ridge board insulation.
The exterior siding and trim out details will be installed during spring and into summer months.
All the roof monitors have been waterproofed with some of the upper glass units in place.
All the wood blocking and waterproofing at perimeter parapet walls of the roof systems have been installed ready for the final wall siding.
The installation of the roof system on Building No.1 is well under way to soon have an enclosed weathertight building.
The ROCC building roof system was completed in April.
Interior construction continues with all metal studs and one side of sheetrock installed in both buildings.
City of Rockport inspections are all good inspection reports.
The subcontractors such as the electrical, mechanical and plumbing are working weekly, installing all necessary materials and equipment per Richter Architects plans and specifications.
The team of Richter Architects and Teal Construction Company continue to work daily on the necessary construction details and scheduling.
The steel erection company is installing the overhead support structures for the four movable partitions in the large ballroom of The ROCC.
Construction is slated for completion September 6. Directly following, we will begin the process of securing a Certificate of Occupancy from our partner, the City of Rockport.
Thank you,
Stan Smith
Board President
