Visible progress on the Moore project has been substantial during the past month as the “bones” of the north wing have emerged. All brick, mortar, and cement blocks have been removed from the facade of the north wing, exposing the steel structure underneath. This structure will serve as the central core of the new addition. Adhering to the timetable set for the construction, workers have also excavated the foundation for the part of the new building to the west of the north wing and have begun work on the excavation to the east. Soon we’ll be able to see the entire outline of the addition.
After a summer laying utilities and dealing with sinkholes, workers restored the alley between Nittany Parking Deck and the Moore building in time for the return of students and the beginning of classes, easing access around the building. However, the parking lot to the north of the building has now been closed.
