Rehab @ The Poly

[wdwjmp239]

What's going on with the rehab at the poly? They shut one building down for rehab. Does anyone know how long that building will be shutdown for?

The longhouses are being redone because off age and moisture problems. The longhouses have had problems with moisture because of 2 things. One is because they are made of wood on the outer structure and since the original longhouse rooms were constructed using the modular rooms and plugged into the buildings (like the Contemporary) there is space under the floors where water is getting trapped. They are taking everything out of the rooms down to the structure and cementing the floors as well as redoing some of the landscaping to keep the water from flowing towards the buildings. They are also replacing much of the wood on the outer surface and stairways of the longhouses.

Inside the rooms they are rewiring and replacing the pluming and ventilation. All the carpets and wallpaper are being replaced as well. I have no idea what the new rooms look like but everything will be new.

Tuvalu was done last October. Fiji and Aotearoa were being done in July and are now back open. Niue is next this month and Samoa will start in January. The only other one that they have a schedule for is a complete redesign of the Hawaii concierge longhouse in June 2003. Each longhouse takes about 3 months.
There is more pictures and info on my pages.
