During the weekend of May 15:

  • On Saturday, a crane will be set up within the construction site fence on the Albany Street side of the GSDM building, to support the installation of the new loading dock rolling gate. Once put in place by the crane, the gate will be installed with the help of ironworkers.

During the week starting May 17: 

  • There will be no night-shift work this week.
  • With most of the work now completed in the sixth-floor patient treatment center, crews will be performing punchlist work and cleaning throughout the space.
  • With final plumbing and electrical inspections completed last week, the project’s next milestone will be the final building inspection by City of Boston Inspectional Services, anticipated by the end of this week.
  • Exterior work along Albany Street will continue. With the new loading dock rolling gate put in place over the weekend, the installation of decorative panels around the area will occur at the beginning of the week. This will be followed by the removal of the jersey barriers and reopening of the sidewalk on Albany Street.
