Here's an update on the building progress. To date all the footings have been poured for the entire building, and many exterior as well as interior walls are complete up to the second floor. We have placed 346 yards of concrete so far--that's over 43 truckloads.

The new memorial garden is taking shape with the retaining walls complete. The underground storm water and footing drainage system is nearly complete, and much of the plumbing pipe for Stewart Hall has been placed.

We are making good progress thanks to the great weather. However due to some early problems during the demolition phase we are still about 2 weeks behind although the competition date remains the same -- August 1, 2000. Let's hope for continuing good weather and a mild winter.
