Construction for the Eye Center Expansion is on schedule for completion in the winter of 2010. We invite you to view step-by-step photos of the site as construction began in earnest — from digging the hole to pouring the foundation to putting up the steel. (49 photos)
August - September 2007 - Construction
Structural steel continued to rise throughout August and September. By the end of the month decking was in place through the seventh floor and concrete had been poured on floors one through six. We are beginning to frame the exterior walls. The project remains on schedule. (43 photos)
