Looking through the open roof at University Hall. A view that will not be seen again in our life time.
A “Lull,” which is also known as a “high lift” is essentially a heavy duty, rubber tired, telescoping fork lift that can lift 6,000 lbs. to 42 feet high. The rubber tires and it’s weight allow it to maneuver easily in the deep mud that surrounds Harris Hall. Technically, it’s called a “telehandler.” Manufacturer’s photo below shows the stabilizers extended. (note: It costs more than a BMW).
Chargers everywhere underscore the reliance on batteries for power tools.
“Shoring” supports the freshly poured concrete slab that tops the south addition. This photo is taken in what will be the Center for Historical Studies.

Scaffolding has been erected on the east side of Harris Hall to facilitate masonry restoration.
The Lull looks like a toy from above.

One office has been drywalled and will serve to mock up shelving, wood trim, etc.
