Second-Floor Ceilings Take Shape at the Peoples Bank Building

Framing is installed in preparation for overhead drywall installation.

Ceiling framing is underway on the second floor of the Peoples Bank Building, helping define the future creative offices and tenant spaces planned for this level. Framing is being installed to establish ceiling lines and heights, a necessary step before drywall can be added overhead. As these ceiling structures take form, the layout of the second-floor offices becomes easier to visualize, marking an important phase in organizing the interior spaces as restoration work continues.
