Historic Fallsington Library Improvements

The Fallsington Library Project consisted of improvements to a 2 story, 4,800 square foot historic building which was dedicated to ensure the continued longevity of the building, the building contents, and its occupants. The main goal was to restore the historical structure so that it may continue to serve the community into the twenty first century. The projects scope of work consisted of the restoration and repair of the interior & exterior elements of the Fallsington Library’s main building.

Milestone Construction worked very closely with the architect, engineer and owner to ensure a fast track schedule, an amazing zero dollars in change orders, and total completion time of 6 weeks, 6 weeks ahead of the 90 day completion schedule. Since this was a public facility, Milestone wanted to minimize the disturbance of the library and their occupants. Therefore acceleration of shop drawings and release of long lead time materials were procured immediately which allowed the exterior scope of work to start ahead of schedule. Removal & installation of new roof, exterior stucco repairs, and exterior color coded painting were completed prior to shutting down the library for a period of 4 weeks to work on the interior scope of work. The interior improvements started with Milestone removing & boxing of books to reconfiguration, modification & refinishing of book shelving, removal of furniture to storage location, removal of existing and installation of a new ceiling, interior painting, new interior storm windows, new door hardware, refinishing of hardwood floors, millwork, carpentry, interior & exterior lighting, bathroom accessories, new concrete walkway, and resetting of front slate steps.
