Hoisting into place in a rare and highly coordinated effort using seven different cranes.
Hoisting into place in a rare and highly coordinated effort using seven different cranes.
Once overhead rough-ins for the MEPFP systems were installed in the lower-level archival space, we were able to deliver the air handling units that will provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning to the whole building.
In the future, this system will ensure the archives are kept at the proper temperature and humidity levels necessary to store and preserve archival material.
The steel beams for each 400′ truss were delivered to the site and welded together to form one contiguous structure.

The steel structure at the core of the building was installed to receive the truss walls. This included gridline columns, beams, and roof decking.
Masonry walls continued to be built for the various rooms on the lower levels and the first primer coat of paint was applied to the concrete in the basement. Once the primer was applied, overhead rough-in of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems began.
