Hello everyone,

I am just in from my bi-weekly “hard hat” tour of the Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery construction site. In the last two weeks, two more floors of steel have been erected. The outline of the building is really taking shape. There are many people who are working on this expansion project, and I am struck by the care and level of specialized knowledge. Each piece of steel is custom made with a “code” etched into it which identifies to the team where and in which order it needs to be installed.

All of us have specialized knowledge in the areas in which we work here at the AGO, and that is exactly what makes us – as a team – so effective in bringing things alive for our visitors.
