Construction Cam APC ( Athletic Performance Complex )

The glare is pretty bad in the mornings. But if that's what I am stuck complaining about, I'll take it!

put on some sunglasses before you stare at your computer screen

helmet,

just a question about the old cox building. if you look at it -every 8 - 10 ft they have those posts that stick up just past the roof line, which looks like the student side of the stadium. i know the student side of the stadium has those in place so they can add an upper deck. is that the same on the cox building? was it built that way to provide for future expansion up, or was it just a design feature of the times?

The original concept drawing of the "new" athletic complex actually had the current Cox building as multiple stories. The thinking at the time was it would house all athletic offices/functions. Of course, as we have seen, implementation is always different from initial concepts...

It looks like those are there just for show and not structural.

Here is a link to the Quad thread. I had taken pictures a couple of weeks ago, but there are pics throughout the thread of the whole construction process.

This is pumping ME UUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Can someone post what the final prodect is supposed to look like? I can't seem to find the right one online.

Looks like they made good progress today for concrete placement on the next and what looks like to be the last portion of the slab. They might be able to place the concrete on this section by Tuesday if we don't get too much rain on Sunday. I guess we will see what they can get done tomorrow. Regardless, they look to be making good progress on steel erection at the end by the IPF. Once the steel is up they can concentrate on closing in the shell and getting out of the weather.

It may not look like it, but there has been a tremendous amount of work done on this project. All of those white plumbing pipes sticking up had to come from somewhere. The foundation for a building like this is also plenty of work. So while it may LOOK like very little has been done, in reality, a good portion of the most difficult part of this project has been completed. This coming week is critical in that if they can get that last concrete placement done they will be "out of the mud" for the most part. Trust me on this.
