• Windows, Walls, and Water for LSV

  Our new LSV village is truly full of light.  Every building has large windows, to soothe our eyes and allow our fresh air to flow freely.  All the windows are cut to size and assembled on site by very skilled workmen.  As required by China’s building code, all windows have a heat resistant coating.  This cuts down the hot summer rays, and saves electricity.  This reflective coating also prohibits people from looking inside the buildings.

   

  The Auditorium, Arts Building, and Commercial-Classroom Building walls are going up.   The Classrooms are spacious, with high ceilings, and wide corridors.  The Arts Building connects the three buildings together, and will serve for music, dance, and other fine arts.  Our Auditorium is designed for music and drama performances with optimal sound quality.  As construction speeds up, the buildings grow more impressive by the day.

  

  Though mostly unseen, our water supply and waste water system are essential components of our village.  An important part of this system is a wastewater tank.  Wastewater is carried by underground pipes to this large, underground, concrete tank.  As this tank fills, the water then goes into the town’s drainage system.  Our building site fresh water now comes from a well.  In the future, we will also be connected to Nankang’s water supply.

   

  When the windows are in, the walls are up, and the water turned on, we can move in!
