Pavilion near completion at Starling Avenue; exhibits to be phased and UV window film planned
Summary
Committee members said concrete pours, structural and electrical work at the Starling Avenue pavilion are largely complete; rail exhibits will be installed in phases, the tree-ring display may come later, and window UV film (high blockage) is scheduled to improve visibility.
Speaker 2 (Unidentified Speaker) described the pavilion work at Starling Avenue: “the concrete's been poured. Most of it's been poured… the main structures of the upper finish and electrical. And, once all that's done, they're gonna do the stairs down to Douglas, Street.”
Speakers discussed exhibit timing and installation. Speaker 2 said some exhibits may be phased because certain elements — for example, a tree-ring (“tree cookie”) timeline — depend on manufacturing schedules, while other pieces (a hanging ‘Pellegorne’ element and rail exhibits) are ready or in production. Speaker 1 said firm installers will apply a window treatment; Speaker 1 described the option as a tinted UV film that provides high blockage yet allows viewing: “They're gonna do UV film on the windows… it'd be, like, 99% blockage.”
Staff also noted plans for banners suspended between posts to provide structure and that the team removed an old mural and is discussing new window treatments. No formal decisions were recorded; the discussion was an operational progress report ahead of the next board meeting.
