John Rouleau -Project Superintendent of Pizzagalli Construction: “This is the new entry pavilion.  It’s approximately 2,400 square feet.  Glass to the second floor, where the Hudson Museum is located; glass into what is the new Bodwell lounge on the third floor, for approximately 34 feet high. So, you’ve got a view all the way across campus here, electric door operators, radiant heat in the floor, this will have all porcelain tile, sort of emulates a green slate look. Radiant heat on the side, a lot of passive solar, up above there are motorized shades in the little pockets up there. So, as the sun rises in the summer, this whole side can come down automatically to block the sun, and that side could go up.  And again, as the sun passes by throughout the day and the temperature rises, all the curtains can drop on that side as well. This is the main entrance portion right here and what used to be the front entrance, the big heavy mahogany doors that were right here, so back in the day, people would come through the front and the interior doors are right there, and this little vestibule sort of got all packed up before you could actually get into the show. Now, there’s a lot more open area that you can come in, meet your friends, shake off the cold before you enter into the lobby area over there. This is what used to be part of the old ramp.  This is actually a new section.  The old ramp ran around the back wall down to the third floor. Now below, we’ve got a view to what is the new café. Right below us is a pantry, so you will be able to buy coffee, sandwich and other things, so there is an opportunity for about 18 tables inside here. And on the wall--display monitor right on the wall over there--you’ll be able to view art that is featured from the museum through that glass light--over there and one over there. So, there will be some back lighting on some specific pieces of art or artifacts from the museum so you will be able to see that from here. Now, we’re on the third floor.  This used to be a rail to below and the ramp came across.  Now, we’ll be able to look down into the café area and what you don’t see now is all the way across that back wall, on the south wall, is there’s an art rail that gets hung on there so there will be all kinds of… they can change the art display. It’s an integrated rail with cabling system so various pieces of art can be hung from there with lighting as well.”
