Touring the pit: Part 1

Looking eastward to Queen's Park from the construction pit of the Jackman Law Building.

If you've never had a chance to visit a contruction site in full activity, now might be a good time to request a tour of the Jackman Law Building renewal project. Webcams and photos simply can't do justice to the sheer enormity of machine sizes, the sense of efficient activity occurring in each section of the site, nor the range of skill sets on display. 

View the Nexus photo spread of a recent tour as well.

Here's a close up of the historial foundations found during demoltion, one being the original foundation of the law library (on the left) butting up next to a foundational wall of the first renovation library project in the 1980s. Below is the framing for the new Tory Hall.

Here's what remains from Bennett Lecture Hall, below. It will still serve as a lecture space, but it won't be quite as large, and not so circular to allow for better viewing and sound.

This worker is cutting up steel frame remnants near the Bennett Lecture Hall.
