This past Saturday, March 12th, at 11:30 AM we “topped-off” our new Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library.
“Topping-off” refers to the point in time during the construction of a new building when the highest structure or beam is added. For the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library, the original spire from the former Atlantic Theatre “tops” the new building. The library incorporates a reproduction of the former Atlantic Theatre’s iconic tower into a glass roof accenting the children’s section. The original spire, which has been refurbished, is placed atop the tower.
