Photo 4: crew members construct the framing for footings in the middle of the building.

Photo 5: on the north side of campus, clearing of the multi-use field begins in preparation for the upcoming cement treatment to provide a base for the synthetic turf.

The concrete is curing where it was poured in the southeast corner of the building. Framing for more footings continues in preparation for future concrete pours.

The first concrete is poured for the building's footings. It's a team effort requiring a crew member to remotely control the flow of concrete from the truck into the overhead hose, another member to direct the hose into the framing, and others to measure the depth of the pour and remove air pockets. It will take a few weeks to fill all the existing frames and allow the concrete to set as more framing continues to be constructured for the rest of the building.

Framing for the concrete footings on the east side of the building continues.
