Nice work.

Where did you have to get to take the picture of the rebar looking structure with the 100 on it?

and thanks for the commitment to tracking the progress.

I drove the campus today and am really disappointed in the back of the new dorm areas---tire rut marks with the concrete stoppers all turned --just really shabby looking---We need to address this ASAP!!! Too much money and effort to not have a first class surrounding!!!

I was standing on top of some transformers located behind Corona Hall to the left in the photo below. The rebar structure is the boom of the crane in the photo below. The 100 means the joint in the boom is 100 feet from the pivot point. It's all about balance and leverage when using a crane. (especially crawlers).

It's a good thing you didn't go in the stairwells in Olivier Parking tower. It's pretty bad. Graffiti on the walls and fast food bags and wrappers all over the place.

No steel yet. It looks like they will wait until the next concrete placement to start. If the rain holds off I don't think it will be too long.

Getting close to placing concrete for the kitchen area of the food service wing.

Same area as seen from the Guillory Hall balcony.




Wide shot of the main building. Still working on foundations and underground mechanical lines.

Thanks, I look forward to these updates.

I am glad you do. It's really no problem, I cross the street and I'm there.

Hey Helm---looks like this is taking longer than the dorms--my imagination or just a different animal???

[HelmutVII]

It is taking much longer. A totally different type of construction for a totally different type of building. Once they get out of the ground they should start making steady progress.

And again Thanks Again!!!
