"If you look at the Dome from the front, it looks fine. But if you look at the back of Mary, you c·an see it is in need," Affleck-Graves said. As a result, this year's process will be especially long. Instead of painting over the old paint, the workers are going to strip the dome of all the previous layers and apply a brand new coat. Also, struc­ tural work will be done to maintain the integrity of the inside of the building, Affleck­ Graves said. "Now we have to strip 12 layers of paint. We have to prime and re-paint, and that is what takes time. It is going to be stripped down to the bare metal," Affleck-Graves said. At Ernst & Young, the opportunity for growth is enormous.
