The Arnprior Life Facebook Page is a location you can visit to judge for yourself how the Nick Smith Centre upgrades are proceeding.
The story slug reads: “Demolition Complete; Construction Moving Steadily”
At the Glenn Arthur Arena: Tearing down the arena slab is done and roof trusses have been scraped and repainted. The subgrade has been prepared to begin rebuilding the arena surface.
Structural steel has been placed for the new windows to overlook this arena. The perimeter of the rink is largely complete and preparations for pipe infrastructure on the arena slab are in progress.
With the Bert Hall Arena (off to a later start), the demolition of the Arena slab, stands and office/storage towers is complete.
Roof trusses have been scraped and repainted and the subgrade is in the process of being reconstructed.
The area for the two-level mezzanine structure has been excavated and reinforcing steel has been placed for the foundation of this new structure.
