Presently, Area C must be completed by May 15, 2011. This area includes the new
Information Desk with the curved Veritas panels. My best information currently is

of 1 or 2 days. At best case, the General contractor will have to have his contract
in place no later than April 3 to have any chance of making this schedule work.
