This past week we held our monthly Board of Trustees meeting during which the change order was discussed to move forward with drilling through the ledge found under the Museum. Ledge is a common headache throughout New England and I’m sure many people who have done construction projects have encountered this issue. Special drilling procedures need to happen to ensure safety and stability for the building and the installation of the elevator. So, we’ll be moving forward soon with this part of the project.
Meanwhile, this week we officially introduced our new Art + Culture Assistant, Laidy Saenz! Laidy has been with us for about 2 months and is a pleasure to work with. She is originally from Peru and holds an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts. She brings experience in operations management, programming and research. She’s also been a resident of Somerville for 11 years. We’re lucky to have her as part of our team!
