SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- The multimillion-dollar renovation of the state Capitol is on schedule as crews work to strip the building to its bare bones, including the aging pipes that made water unfit to drink.

Except for concrete walls around the elevator shafts and stairways, there virtually is nothing except bare concrete floors in the House office wing, where construction is by design one month ahead of the Senate wing.

Aside from new carpeting and furnishings, one thing the public will notice from the renovation is that a restroom on each floor in each wing will be accessible to people with disabilities. A second-floor restroom with be equipped with a lift for those who require assistance.

Construction is estimated at $24 million. The total is $34 million when architectural and engineering work, communications systems, furnishings and relocation expenses are added.

The work in both office wings is scheduled for completion in November 2008.
