The north walls of the facility are up!

Now trying to remember if that's the front of the building or the back.

Taken around 5:30pm today (from my car) of the first wall up.

[SuperJon]

I about flipped out when I saw the wall. I was leaving North Campus tonight after class and tried to see if the girl with me had a camera but she didn't. It's just one wall but it's still progress.

[Sly Fox]

Thanks for the pic, bozlady.

Progress!

[jcmanson]

I noticed them tonight on my way to the comp lab! I was very pleasantly suprised! Progress, progress, progress!

[BJWilliams]

Twas a real pleasure to put a face with your name JC. btw you going to the next night practice (Im not sure if that is this week or next)

[A.G.]

A worker showed up for work today and is sitting in his truck sipping coffee!

[PAmedic]

Union contract, probably can't start until 0730 and then has to have the OSHA approved safety team in place. Thats how it works up here!

[Libertine]

Got a couple pics here:

The far wall went up between 4pm and 5:30 pm last night. The near corner went up around 8:00 this morning. Don't know what they're waiting on right now. Maybe the contractors all took a break and went to convocation.

OK, now what? Anyone have some ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Jon.

Oh, sonofa--!

Trying a different server.

There we go. For the record, Yahoo and PicFury suck.

[SuperJon]

You're putting the html address, not the jpg

[jcmanson]

Bj, I'm not sure. Just let me know when it is, and I will see if I can make it.

[jcmanson]

I just drove by a few minutes ago, and I saw noone out there working. Maybe they went to grab some lunch.

[SuperJon]

I drove by at 12 and no one was out there. Maybe there'll be more done later.

[LUconn]

a lot of construction on campus tends to look like that. But it always seems to get done somehow. They must have Doozers come in at night and work. How many poeple here know what a doozer is? (no googling cheaters!)

[Libertine]

They're back out there now. I'm sure the construction technique is fairly safe and all but it just looks so precarious. You couldn't pay me to be standing inside it right now.

[thesportscritic]

I saw the construction crew working too while I was on my way to class. Hopefully they will meet the deadline which I don't think will happen for this season. But I don't mind being wrong if it is done before the start of the football season.

[Libertine]

I've been told that an absolute best-case scenario has the occupation date in the last week of June but a more likely date is mid-October. Of course, w/ contractors and LU involved, I expect to see it finished sometime in February.

[SuperJon]

When I drove by at 3 there was a second wall up and part of a third.

[Guest]

When they stopped tonight, they had the entire north and west walls up and most of the south wall. Pictures will have to wait until daylight.

[PAmedic]

Its daylight. Not to be unreasonable, but it gets light at about 0545. When I go on-duty.

[jcmanson]

When I came on campus this morning, they had nearly the entire outer walls except for one or two slabs on the side closest to the ice center, and they were working on them then. So, all the outer walls should be up by today.

[TallyW]

See there guys.... Lightning speed!!!!

[givemethemic]

There up !!!!! I will have pics in a few mins... Talked to a construction worker and he said that they hope to have the thing completely done by mid-October, I check the calendar and O yeah, that's just in time for homecoming!!!!

Give credit to givemethemic for the pictures, I just uploaded them for him. He's not the brightest crayon in the box (as I type that from his computer).

All four walls are up and there were people working inside of it earlier.
