Woodbury Demolition Begins Next Week

The Woodbury demolition is slated to begin next week. Abatement is complete in the gym, pool and west wing of the building. Abatement is ongoing in the east wing and the 1917 building (center of the Woodbury building that will be renovated). Mass demolition will begin with the pool, then move to the gym in August. The District and Gilbane are working on signage for parts of the construction fence to show a rendering of the new Woodbury building.
