"He has managed to move this along in a very quick fashion .there's a lovely winter polished tiles by William Zorach..These girls have never had a syringe needle in their lives!. the project is moving along very smoothly and I think they are doing a wonderful job."
Sausano works for contractor Scheibel Construction.
The children's area is expansive, and the wall to the children's garden is nearly complete.
The project seems to be moving fast now that the windows are all installed, Horvath said. Next steps include finishing the drywall, installing lighting, ceilings and flooring, and painting.
