The New Darien Library. It’s For You. And now it’s on YouTube!

After more than two years of preparing the site for the New Darien Library, including the necessary environmental clean-up of a long-term contamination, November saw the first burst of major building activity above ground level.

Our webcam caught the action as we began the visible progress of the building, and has continued to record day after day.

We’ve been putting the time-lapse videos on YouTube and onto our website. Just in case you’ve missed them, the videos from November 2007 through February 2008 are below. They are such fun to watch.

FEBRUARY 2008

We’ve gone from dirt to foundation to walls to steel to roof to cinderblock. What the videos don’t show is the mechanicals and the fireproofing, all well underway.

We’ll have March’s video up any day now. Check back here and on our home page and watch our progress. We don't need time-lapse photography to show our smiles. Share the excitement!

Who says things don't grow in November?

The activity at the new building site really took off in November! We seem to have just sprung out of the ground! We installed a webcam at the construction site and here's the first of our time-lapse videos:
