Bye-bye Bora

Eastern Construction project manager Dean Walker stopped by my office recently to inform me that "The Bora Laskin Law Library is gone," and he had the photos to prove it. The law library is temporarily esconced over at Victoria's Birge Carnegie building for the duration of the project. But its former home has an apocalyptic air, given the demolition progress. Take a look at this latest update:

Here’s what used to be the entrance area of the law library. The ceiling is a suspended system, is fastened to the structure above and the connections are exposed. It’s being taken down in sections.

Construction workers are peeling off the drywall ceiling in the interior of the former Bora Laskin Law Library.

Eastern crew found some curious details once the drywall was removed from these posts, likely the remnant walls from the original Flavelle building when the Bora Laskin Library addition was constructed in the 1980s. The old openings were installed using drills, chisels, and chipping.
