The timeline began okay, but the original process we envisioned of the team leaders submitting proposals, which are reviewed by the design team and then returned to the team leaders with suggestions is likely going to be significantly delayed due to the issues which have arisen already with the building (e.g., asbestos, lack of dimensions)
I have had conversations with some of the design team regarding the challenge of both the time-frame of move-in and the process we have engaged in. I'd like to hear from the design team on when things can realistically be pulled together, even if it just some key turning points in the design process. Right now I'm not aware of any deadlines for next steps. For example, there has been talk about the flooring needing to be re-done, but when will a decision be made? What needs to happen for a decision to be made?
It would be more beneficial if the design team can provide a proposed timeline in regards to their work, something that is reasonable to them, without changing the dates of taking possession 8/1 and having the first service on 8/30. Then we can work off that in addition to/instead of my preliminary timeline if it's something we can all agree on.
Is that something you can do, design team? |

I thought there was an updated timeline somewhere, but I can't find it. Are we still planning on August 30th being the first Sunday service in the new building?

Yes Lauren, the first date I'm aware of for Sunday services is 8/30.
Currently the timeline consists of the expense reports due July 10, followed by a determination of a budget and approval of design plans by the end of July. I'll get the timeline updated on the forum.

We are going to get moving pretty quickly on getting things ready in the building, hopefully soon. Once the board approves a budget and releases the funds, you leaders will be able to plan and take action. I hope this is just a matter of days before the budget is complete. Thanks for your patience in this as we are having to make some tough decisions, while also waiting for Wheaton College to address some critical and costly things on their end. Things are looking positive there but we don't have solid answers on the big ticket items yet.
Once we have the budget set, we'll need a work plan and timeline for a sort of "count-down to move-in". Once you have your budget, please create a work list of tasks, in order, with target dates and submit it to me via this thread. I will do my best to consolidate and coordinate people's plans, although I'll need a lot of help from the design team/construction people since I have little knowledge in that area. In this way I hope to have a good working and detailed timeline for the ongoing projects and tasks as we approach our move-in date, which will also be confirmed soon.
