The fifth and final image shows the door that leads from the new handicapped-accessible entrance into the exhibition gallery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/Haystairsprotection.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179\" alt=\"Haystairsprotection\" src=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/Haystairsprotection.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513ductwrkremoval.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176\" alt=\"JH9513ductwrkremoval\" src=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513ductwrkremoval.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513-homasote.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-175\" alt=\"JH9513 homasote\" src=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513-homasote.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513scrr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-178\" alt=\"JH9513scrr\" src=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513scrr.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513newentrance.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177\" alt=\"JH9513newentrance\" src=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/JH9513newentrance.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The John Hay Renovation Project is moving ahead at full steam.\u00a0 The construction phase which began in late August is progressing on schedule.\u00a0 The Hay is undergoing a dramatic transformation: walls are being demolished, ceilings taken down, and carpets and light fixtures removed, while book stacks and marble floors and stairs are encased in protective [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/hayrenovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
