Advanced Notice of Construction - 7/25-8/1

I am sorry to send such a belated update to the two weeks of construction, July 21st through August 1st. Some of this work you will have seen take place this week. I am only including the two largest projects in this update but will catch everyone up on the works when I get back from vacation. I will also try to get some new pictures up during August. Hope all is going well for you!

As you probably noticed the slab was poured on July 14th - this is a big milestone which has enabled us to move forward to an even bigger milestone - the erection of the steel.

Additionally, the webcam is fun to watch right now because the building is changing visibly daily. Just go to http://lksc.stanford.edu/ and click on the two webcam bullets to enlarge the image and/or control it.
