The bottom of the stairwell. Once complete, where the exit is, on the left, there will be a new work room for staff to process the library books.

Pre-construction Phase: first floor. This adult learning room will be converted into toilets for people using the building, to replace those currently located on the ground floor.

Here you can see that most of the furniture has been removed, the condition of the floor is being investigated and holes have been made in the plaster to test for asbestos.
