Email #25 - Vertical Panorama of East Wall

The current state of construction is seen in this recent Vertical Panorama taken of the east wall of the South Wing.

If you look closely at the wall in the upper two photos, you can see that the seismic structural rebar has been fully installed on the 1st floor, awaiting shotcrete. On the 2nd floor above, you can see the rebar partially installed - coming down from the ceiling and coming up from the floor. The formwork around the windows is temporary.

In the bottom photo (basement) the wall has been shotcreted, but the odd wooden forms are still in most of the windows. The blue tarp is thirsty for concrete, coming very soon. Beneath the tarp is dirt.

The yellow signs say "DO NOT Mark On Concrete Wall. This is Finish Product." (Not. T'was painted later).
