Hillside Pavilions reaches structural completion
All nine timber frames are up, and the first standing-seam roof is complete.
The last of the nine pavilion frames was raised in February, eleven weeks after the first. Because the buildings are identical in construction, the crew got faster with each one — the ninth frame took two days against the first one's five.
The first standing-seam roof is complete and weathertight. Fit-out begins in spring, with the first three pavilions due to open later in the year.
