Excavation has begun! The hole for our almost 900-car underground parking structure is beginning to be dug. In addition, utility and grading work is proceeding in order to get the site ready for construction of new buildings—for example, before we really get started we have to get our construction storm water drainage system in place.
During excavation, we will dig up about 20,000 cubic yards of soil, all of which will remain on site in order to re-grade the ground from its current elevation.
Another interesting fact is that our current estimates tell us that the amount of steel we’ll need to erect all the buildings for the new campus will exceed 8 million pounds (more than 4100 tons).
Keep checking back for more updates and facts!
