We're progressing nicely on the ELYSIUM project. Nearly all design decisions have been made, and nearly all of the materials and hardware are in hand. As with BELLATRIX (see photo above), one of our prime considerations is to maintain the classic appearance of the Bunker and Ellis design while employing modern construction techniques, materials, and state-of-the-art systems.
