Construction Cam APC ( Athletic Performance Complex )

When are they going to finish the erection of the "red steel"? Seems like they are dragging behind on this while making up for something somewhere else in the building? How is the Track & Field area progressing?

It looks like they are putting up the wall panels so they can get the main part of the building out of the weather. There is not that much red steel left to put up. They can get that done in a couple of days. It's important to get the building out of the weather so they can get sheet rock and other interior work done without it being exposed to the elements.

Wall panels are going up quickly. It won't be long now before we won't be able to see much of anything going on inside the building. This is good.

----Just another question about construction---If we want to brick the bottom like the IPF, can we use some of the bricks from the Cox building when it is torn down?

Has anyone seen the actual plans to match the building that has been constructed? Since the two story change and the additions, what will the buildings overall look? I really hope it doesn't end up looking like a big gray barn!

Anyone going to be able to get pics and comments from within the APC once it gets closed in so that the interior work can be depicted for us all?

Bump.
That would certainly be great....hope someone is able to do this for us.

No, no one has seen them.....I even sent an email to the athletic dept asking for this, which is posted earlier in this thread. Also, a pic showing the final design of the exterior has also been posted earlier in this thread.

No, that would not be an option, unless you can find some poor sucker willing to chip away at thousands of bricks. Cheaper to buy new matching ones.

---WE used the old bricks torn down when we enclosed our garage----Jose and Pedro cleaned and reused !!!!

Red steel going up over the locker rooms. They should be finished tomorrow or Thursday.

[HelmutVII]

Very little red steel left on the ground.

Looks like the red steel is finished except for a few girts that were left off. Sometimes they do this so they can get equipment in and out. Next up is the roof over the locker rooms and the remainder of the wall panels. The building will essentially be out of the weather then and they will be able to work rain or shine.
