Baker Dorm as of 5/08/11. Looks like they have the first few courses of brick around a good part of the building and will start brick work in earnest this week.

Story pole used by brick layers to assure a level brick course around the building and that headers over windows and doors are at the same level. Brick layers don't like you messing with this.

Parking Garage as of 5/08/11. This will be a very imposing building. some may not like it because it will be out of proportion to other buildings on campus.


East ramp structure taking shape.

Korbels sticking out to support ramps for the parking garage. The ramps will be on the interior of the building with the exterior floors level. You will see each floor as level from the outside.


Counterweights on the crane used to lift precast concrete sections.

You are not kidding. It's already kind of imposing in this picture.

Consistent progress through the week. Brick work has started in earnest this week and has progressed above the bottom of the second floor windows. More interior work being done.

Today I noticed that they are in the process of removing all the Air Conditioner units and some furniture from old Baker and Huger halls. I guess they are pretty confident that the new Baker Hall will be finished for the Fall semester.

Big boss says August. Just need a few more weeks of good weather and it will be about all inside for this one. One big dorm. And more coming. Parking garage will help a great deal - depending on cost!! Impressed with construction crew. Getting after it. Seems well coordinated.
