ATB Centre Phase Two so far on time, AND on budget
LETHBRIDGE – A fire, caused at least in part by a malfunctioning space heater left on at the ATB Centre last February, hasn’t slowed down construction progress on the $110 million phase two portion of the project.
Ashley Matthews, Project Coordinator, says even though many of us have been complaining about the constant heat and lack of rain this summer, that has actually helped things move along.
“Overall the fire delayed it (the project) by 10 days, but there was other work they could do there at the same time. So the only real delay was they had to go back and do some re-work because of the damages. But it didn’t really delay the construction, because it continued on as such, and because of the beautiful weather we’ve had, they’ve more than made up that time.
“Everything is right on track. Most of the roof work is completed. Exterior windows are actually being installed right now. A lot of the interior roofing has also been completed. In August, they will start work on the parking lots. So things are moving right on schedule and things are looking good right now.”
