Steelwork Begins
Posted 12/4/08
I apologize for being behind in the updates - so here's two slideshows to catch us up. Massive changes have occurred; parts of the steel skeleton of the building are in place, and are now visible from the entire campus!
UPDATE:The pictures are coming in faster than I can post them - the pace of the work is amazing! These were taken the afternoon of 12/4/08:
Water and Sewer Lines Installed
Posted 12/16/08
The changes aren't as dramatic this time as seeing the steel go up, but even the seemingly little ones are exciting! The water and sewer lines have been installed, and the upper level floors are taking shape as steel decking is laid in place. Thanks again to Jimmy, the Triangle foreman, for the pictures.
