Now Now Then Progress In Pictures President McCabe and Chancellor Thompson lead invited guests in breaking ground for the site of the new science building. Cranes arrive and prepare to do the heavy lifting for the foundation of the new science building.
Workers gather around to drill a hole down to bedrock for the first foundation pier.
After drilling, the rebar is placed and the hole is filled with concrete. Overall there will be 197 foundation piers supporting the science building. President McCabe checks the progress on the new science building as the first level begins to take shape. First floor concrete is in place and pillars for the second floor can be seen in the background. One of the first walls is in place on the ground floor.
