Foundation walls are rising out of the hole in the area soon to be known as the Donna Giacoma Swank '61 Art Labs. The effort of forming around reinforcing steel and placing concrete is being done in manageable phases, thus the current look you see on site and in these pictures. Some completed concrete walls, others reinforced and framed in forms. Very soon now we'll start installing underground utilities, plumbing and electrical components. These systems will be partially encased in the concrete floor slab which will be poured into the basement. Cooler temperatures are expected, and this will be a welcome condition as long as it doesn't rain anymore! No one enjoys working in a mud bath, especially when you're tasked with building a straight and strong foundation for a fine theater.
