UNDER CONSTRUCTION : Inside Gladstone lobby looking toward the main entrance and front office
BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS
Renovation of the front office and lobby area including a new secure entrance is nearly complete . So just what can you expect beyond new carpet and fresh paint ? A double vestibule entrance that will allow you to avoid the cold , snow or rain as you wait to enter the building . A transaction window will be inside the vestibule if you are just stopping by to ask a question , or register for an activity or class . Eventually , you will check into your groups here instead of in the activity rooms .
There will also be locked doors separating the lobby from both building wings . This will provide added security for the building by controlling access to the classrooms and activity rooms . There is a new ramp to the Senior Center and the Early Child Family Programs clerk will be joining Mary Kay in the front office . Renovation is scheduled to be completed by the end of the month . You will be notified when you are able to begin using the main entrance once again . main entrance vestibule transaction window
