Collaborative construction

Behind the fences, work on the Collaborative Research Center is proceeding on schedule. Over the past several months, crews in Smith Hall have poured a new slab for the sixth floor, constructed a new roof and penthouse for mechanical equipment, and have begun installing new windows and running electrical and ventilation equipment on several floors. Next door, at the site of the bridging building, excavation work is complete and the foundation has been poured; beginning in January, work will begin on the concrete “superstructure” that will form the building’s skeleton. Construction is also proceeding at the Comparative Bioscience Center, and it’s complete at the electrical vault under the 66th Street parking lot, where Con Edison is currently testing new equipment.
