This past week the construction workers worked on the foundation walls of our new building. Specifically, this means they built wooden framing that served as molds for the concrete beams that sit on top of the caissons. A grade beam now runs the perimeter of the building and there is also one down each side of the center section of the building to support internal loads. Half of the grade beams have now been poured and the rest will be installed next week.

Above you can see a picture of the framing around the perimeter of the building. Below is a shot of the workers pouring the concrete for the grade beams.

The basic outline of our new building is now clearly visible! There was some rain this past week, but thankfully construction is still proceeding more or less according to schedule.
