The pace better be incredible because Taft Street Dorm is scheduled to be open for the Fall Semester. It will be tight, but if they keep it up, they may make it.

Helmut, great info. We really appreciate your insight into this construction "stuff!"

Sure seem to be making better progress than the guys "working" on the softball stadium.

...Then the roof trusses go on and the roof deck by mid to late May. Then they will be out of the weather.

One day after you posted that, roof framing has begun. Amazing.

I see all of the diagonal bracing on the second to fourth levels. I hope they have enough, especially on the fourth level. They are predicting the potential for severe weather Monday evening into Tuesday morning. This is a particularly vulnerable time for the structure.

Does anyone know if they're going to have a pathway through the parking tower to the little alcove in Angelle Hall? I know there's no loading zone around Angelle now, and it's a pain in the ass to have to load or unload stuff. They couldn't make one by the current parking garage, because as it is now, the band field goes from the band tower right up to the sidewalk.

Sounds like decision time: give up the back half of backfield to create a loading/unloading drive straight from Taft to Angelle? Or does the band want to keep the back sideline intact for getting on/off the field? Stay tuned tomorrow to find out...same Bat Time, same Bat Channel!

It looks like they will have all the roof trusses on and the entire exterior sheeting done by the end of the week. They will be out of the weather and really be able to go to town on the inside work.

It looks like there will be access to the rear of Angelle Hall through the parking garage. I'm sure the Fire Marshall had something to say about that. It will probably be in combination with the drive through for the credit union. Lets hope there in not a fire in Angelle hall during this construction.
