The Week of September 2, 2019 — Four Corners: A View of the Project From Above, Steel Comes to Schuman Pavilion, Updates on the “H” Projects, and a Closeup Look Down in the Tunnel.
A view from the west side of the Adult Hospital tower looking 17-stories down to grade.
As it turns out, this week will be a big week. The campus will get a new tower: the Schuman Pavilion Elevator tower. Today, September 3, 2019, Schuff Steel began setting columns and hanging beams in the elevator pit. When I arrived on site this morning at around 10:00 AM, all of the columns had been set. I wondered how that was possible, then, I learned that the ironworkers began their shift at 3:00 AM to beat the heat. I was grateful to have arrived in time to photograph the ironworkers hang the first beam.

A Look in the Tunnel at Subgrade
For weeks, I have been chronicling the evolution of the west side tunnel. For the most part, I have been able to get some worthwhile images of the progress. Now that rebar, scaffolding, forming of the foundation walls have limited my access to my normal perch, I had to cheat to obtain some good images of what is happening below grade. I decided to ask one of the carpenter foremen if could take a few photos, the next time he went down the ladder. Victor graciously agreed and for the first time, we will have–so I thought– an excellent view of what the tunnel looks like at sub-grade. As you will see, the view is not much better: more of the same, rebar and scaffolding!

how are those wing struts on the inside or most westerly columns going to fasten to the existing cancer center.
The building is a free-standing structure. The ironworkers hung the facia on the wing struts today.
will you have a picture of the facia on the struts and the connection to the building when it happens?
do you have any pictures of the walkway arriving on trailer?
2 questions:
where there those kind of pits for the existing med center.
what is the minimum height of the connector tunnel.
