The following pictures show several views from the tower crane, moving
from west to east. Within a section, views proceed south to north.
Western Section

Western and central sections looking north: Shoring for the second floor for the western
section and part of the central section
Rebar is installed for many of the beams in the western section

|
Western and central sections, looking south toward the existing Science building
|
Central Section
|
Central section, looking west: New courtyard between existing and new
building
the left of the picture shows the installation of the shoring for the
second floor corridor next to the courtyard (the first floor corridor will
be a concrete deck poured on top of gravel)
|
|
South-central section, looking north: The edge of the courtyard is at the
very bottom of the picture, with the eastern floor section to the right
|
Eastern Section: progressing south to north
|
South-eastern section: the last wall pour is being prepared along the
chiller building
gravel fills much of the area between the chiller plant and the new
basement
the first-floor concrete deck serves largely as storage for supplies —
particularly bundles of 4x4 shoring supports
|
|
Eastern section: Shoring from the central section (bottom) yields to
storage space throughout the eastern section
|
Eastern section: Gravel fills the area in the northeast between the
building and Eighth Avenue
