The following pictures show several views from the tower crane, moving
from west to east.
Western Section

Western section, looking west: The base decking extends through the
western section. Some forms in the western (top) area are being installed
for the concrete floor. The channels between these forms will become
concrete beams.

Central Section

Central section: The shoring for the third floor is built upon the
concrete deck of the second floor. 4" by 4" columns extend from the
concrete floor to horizontal beams (going left-to-right in the picture).
A second row of horizontal beams (shown to the upper-right of the decking),
crossing the first row, provide a base for plywood decking (right).

Central section: The second-floor region between the central and eastern
section includes rebar and electrical conduit on the east (almost ready
for concrete), while beams are being installed for the third floor decking
(right).

South Eastern Section: The second floor decking contains full shoring,
rebar, and electrical conduit, in anticipation of the concrete pour
scheduled tomorrow.

South Eastern Section: A computer-equipped classroom (top) requires
numerous electrical floor boxes and connecting conduit.
The library (bottom) will contain book stacks, supported by tracks in the
floor. The wooden inserts at the bottom of picture will yield groves in
the floor for these tracks.
