The steel superstructure at our 32 Quincy site was completed in June, preparing the way for installation of our steel-and-glass roof system, a hallmark of the Renzo Piano design. The roof will be installed by the German firm Josef Gartner GmbH, a world-renowned manufacturer of curtain walls. They have already begun installing the clips and supports for the glass panels.
