Concrete pouring under way
Concrete is pumped into the science center addition, which is enclosed in a white tarp.
Concrete trucks—sometimes as many as five per hour—lumbered onto campus in the last few weeks during the pouring of the floor decks in the new Lillard Science Center addition.
The last deck pour—the fourth floor—is scheduled for next week.
A temporary plastic enclosure encases the structure as the concrete pouring—more than 185 yards per floor—continues.
Construction is still on track with the overall schedule, meaning the new C-wing should be completed and ready for occupancy in mid-December.
