NSC Construction Update:
Starting this week, contractors began laying the brick exterior of the NSC. Work began on the north side of the building and this portion should be completed in three weeks time. Once substantial progress has been made, photos of the brick work will be added to the website.

NSC Construction Update:
In slightly less than one month’s time the steel structure of the new science center’s east wing is almost complete. The main framing for all three floors has proceeded to the point that the total size of the building can now be appreciated. On the north wing, the concrete deck of the 3rd floor is now complete, while the columns still must be poured. This along with the installation of the sheet metal sub-decking on the south wing steel structure means there will be a substantial amount of disruptive noise on the job site for the foreseeable future.
If you have any questions about what is going on at the construction site, please send an email to the Director of Facilities and Maintenance, Gil Elder or you may contact him at extension 434. Below are some recent photos of progress made on the site:

NSC Construction Update:
In just two days (and rainy days at that) steel workers on the construction site of the NSC have made substantial progress in erecting the steel frame of the East/West Wing. Below are some photos of the progress thus far:

NSC Construction Update:
Since
our last NSC update there has been a great amount of activity on the
construction site. Electrical work connecting the new building to the power grid
required the removal of a portion of the concrete sidewalk across from
Washington Hall. Inclement weather has delayed replacing the concrete removed.
Once there is a dry enough stretch of weather contractors will complete these
repairs.
The
foundation of the North/South Wing has been completed, along with most of the
concrete skeleton of the first and second floors. The building is truly starting
to “take shape” and its foot print provides ample evidence of just how
tremendous this structure is going to be. For the next few weeks contractors
will be constructing the steel frame of the East/West Wing making extensive use of
the large tower crane, which has been on site for the past several weeks. The
safety requirements of this operation mean there will be no tours of the
construction site during this time.
If you have any questions about what is going on at the construction site,
please send an email to the Director of Facilities and Maintenance,
Gil Elder or you may contact
him at extension 434.
