The office building also contains several <br />conference rooms which could serve emergency response needs if power were <br />available.

The <br />Gateway Center property was purchased as of February 23, 2009 pursuant to <br />the contract. The office building and library are scheduled for completion in <br />Summer 2009. <br />
