With aplogies to Robert Duvall for paraphrasing his most famous line, Blogger has been busy watching steel rise from the ground as the Patriots Hall project moves into another exciting phase.
Steelworkers are busy constructing the academic section of the school and the combination of large cranes setting the steel in place and the workers pounding the huge rivets makes for pretty cool sights and sounds.
In addition to the steel girders that are dominating the job site, the large brick column located in the northeast corner of the construction site is home to the elevator shaft. The large brick wall on the west end of the site is the outside wall of the athletic wing. In addition to rise of steel girders, there is a tremendous amount of concrete being poured. Weather has been a challenge, but our friends at Beyer Construction tell us we are just a bit behind their ambitious schedule.
Don't forget to occassionally visit the Patriots Hall webcam. It updates every minute and with the feverish pace of construction, the landscape is changing quite quickly.
