AUBURN, N.Y. — The Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn says the ongoing construction project is making progress, but due to weather and procurement issues, the center doesn’t expect crews to complete the project until mid-March.
The organization refers to the mid-March timeframe as a “substantial completion date,” in its Friday email update.
Crews are working on the center’s entrance addition. It also involves connecting walkways to the Cayuga Museum of History & Art next door, which Schweinfurth says have been completed.
