Tarps have been on and off the exterior of the building for several months to block different elements of construction from view.

Upon closer inspection, we can see wooden planks tied to many of the balconies.

The planks are tied in pairs along the bottom row of rooms, and in singles on the second row.

The splash zone is currently closed, and surrounded with fencing.

It’s definitely in need of a refurbishment.

Upstairs, crew members were working on fixing a bad leak in the ceiling next to the escalators.

As a result of the leak, this area was blocked off.

Curtains have been removed from the rest of the second floor, leaving the space open and with scattered seating.
