Now that the podium’s steel skeleton is complete, it is time to preserve the structure as is, for comparative purposes, before the steel towers begin to rise. 🔨

The podium as seen from the Medical Center east tower’s webcam. From this angle the northwest corner, top/roof, and the central atrium are visible. Also, the north side step-back is visible. Notice that the most western set-back is wider that the east set-back. The north side of the adult tower will rise at the inside edge of the set-back. 🔨
