lobby renovation begins

Renovation of a building's lobby begins at the onset of a major design change in the common areas inside a building near the main entrance. It requires actual construction work, and does not refer to changes like furniture or carpet replacement.

The lobby change must involve actual construction. Replacing furniture or carpet alone does not meet the event definition.

Public area renovation begins can concern shared spaces throughout a building. Lobby renovation identifies the entrance-area project, whose completion is recorded by lobby renovation ends.
