This is the second phase of construction for the Augusta County Library.  Nielsen completed Phase 1 in 2007.  This phase consists of approximately 19,000 square feet of renovation and 2,700 square feet of additions.  The work will be performed in three phases over a 9-month period.  Nielsen will add a new entrance and enclose the existing courtyard area, while renovating all areas of the existing building, which was not included in Phase I.  Frazier Associates is the architect for this project, which is scheduled to be completed in July 2010.

Covenant Presbyterian Church Addition 

Nielsen Builders, Inc. is currently constructing a $1.2 million expansion of the existing church. Twelve classrooms and a 2,600 square foot activity room are part of the 16,000 square foot addition that aims to fulfill the growing needs of the church.

The construction team broke ground in September 2009 and is scheduled for occupancy in June 2010.
