Construction update from the Vladem Contemporary
As construction concluded at the end of June, work will continue in multiple areas. Much of the work on the interior has been completed and various spaces lack only painting touch ups and finishing details. The majority of the concrete floors have been polished and cabinetry has been installed in the classroom, catering kitchen, and artist-in-residence studio. Both elevators will soon be commissioned, allowing for the collections storage furniture to be installed.

Bradbury Stamm will focus most of its attention in the remainder of the month on installing the panels on the western side of the building, paving the surrounding plaza, and laying the donors bricks on the floor of the breezeway. Installation of the Leo Villareal piece has been completed, and the artist finished his design mid-June.
