Matt’s crew completed the upper vaulted ceiling–which literally takes your breath away walking up the now almost completed stairway to get there….it is beyond gorgeous and far beyond what we envisioned in the design phase almost a year ago. Everyone who stops by is in awe–it just seems to fit together–and these pictures only capture a modicum of its impact.I am so grateful to everyone who has poured their blood sweat and tears into this project…it is right up there as one of the truly remarkable buildings–and totally a testament to the collaborative effort of all involved.
My beloved friend and partner in Geobarns–Bob Baldwin–would have been overjoyed to see the developing fruit of his vision for the Sustainability Center–now appropriately named in his honor.
The ceiling-cupola combinations really does send me right over the edge… =-O

Nice work George! Still not sure I will be up there for the conference but I am looking forward to seeing the Center soon.
