#MississippiGateway Construction Update! While exterior site work at Mississippi Gateway Regional Park was generally put on hold for the winter season, some progress continued on the shelters in the River Flats area as well as the gravel pathways and shelter at the South Pond Learning Area. Most of the contractors' efforts in the past month were focused on the Gateway Center and will be continuing up to the point of occupancy. Staff occupancy of the Gateway Center is anticipated in February. Minor work remains on the exterior of the Gateway Center and is in the process of being finished. In the interior, several rooms are generally complete, while other rooms are receiving finishing touches such as lights, wood trim, countertops, flooring and a final coat of paint. Mechanical heating and ventilation equipment are in the process of start-up, programming and testing. When ready, final inspections will be scheduled and crews will install final fixtures, furniture and equipment such as storage shelving, exhibits and aquariums.
