Interior walls continue to be built up with reinforced concrete masonry. Steel beams also are being installed to provide additional structural support.
On the exterior, crew members smooth out the grooves made in the concrete that provide architectural interest. Inside, walls continue to be built up with reinforced concrete masonry.
Reinforced concrete masonry continues to be added to the interior walls of the building, and the crew checks to ensure everything is level.

The site is being prepared for erection of tilt walls this week and paving next week.
A total of 600 cubic yards of concrete was poured for the foundation slab. Crew members are now preparing forms for the tilt walls. At the top left corner, Liberty's sustainable agriculture/design building is being constructed on the other side of Jacobsen Road.
Concrete for the foundation slab is being poured and smoothed.
Construction continues to prepare the foundation for the site.
Concrete footings have been poured and trenches for utility lines are being excavated.
The site for the new Transportation and Support Services facility on Jacobson Street (behind Liberty High School) has been excavated and graded. A large hill of gravel sits on the site waiting to be used -- these loads were transported in advance of the upcoming two-month closure of Cornelius Pass Road.
Josh Sierra, site superintendent for Robinson Construction, and Rick Cunningham, project manager for Cornerstone Construction, commemorate the start of construction.
