McKenzie Commercial is close to finishing the remodel of the Eugene City Council chambers. The construction firm began the project in mid-August and will be finished by Oct. 19.
“That’s the deadline for their contract,” said Glen Svendsen, the city facilities manager. “The project originatedbecause the first floor wasn’t wheelchair-accessible.”
City Council uses the room at 777 Pearl Street for its public meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Eugene’s Municipal Court and other public groups also use the facility.
Workers must finish laying carpet, adding audio-visual equipment and installing handrails to the stairs and wheelchair ramp. The project is expected to cost around $313,000.
