May 5, 2009 - The concrete walls are poured.

 

April 29, 2009 - The walls go up!  In our continuing effort to build Green, our branch is being built with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF's).  Using ICF's will help us reduce our energy consumption for heating and cooling by 30-50%.  It also can generate as little as 1% construction waste.  This greatly reduces land filling which produces methane emissions.  In addition, using this recycled material reduces the number of trees that need to be cut down. 

    

 

 

April 25, 2009 - The first floor concrete is poured.

 

April 15, 2009 - The crew is putting in the 1st floor supports.

The Groundbreaking. 
In prepartation for this momentous ceremony, we purchased shovels and hardhats.  We were fortunate that local artisan, Donald Gary Van Syoc was able to engrave the shovels for us.  We had Emporia State Federal Credit Union, 24th and Industrial and 2008 engraved on the wooden parts of the shovels.  They turned out great! 

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 31, 2008.  The video of the groundbreaking is at the top of the page.

Building Progress:  
             Week of Dec. 8,2008 - Sewer lines are due to be put in. 
             Then digging the basement will begin.  

             The sign has been installed and will be up during construction.
