Promising progress on HREC's Rod Shippey building

Apr 6, 2012

Contract workers are on schedule of the construction work of the Rod Shippey Education and Lab Facility at the UC Hopland Research & Extension Center.   The new building's roof is now weather tight, and much of the rough plumbing and electrical has been completed.  Workers are pre-staining the exterior cedar siding prior to placement onto the exterior walls, which will overlay a complex metal sheathing and ventilation gap.

Sorry, but the camcorder for live daylight update photos went down during the last rainstorm and has yet to be repaired... therefore the camcorder views do not show right now on our live website.   In the meantime, here is a photo of the promising progress as of today.
