Placing concrete on the 2nd floor at Harris Hall, 3-2-10.
Above, Mike Long (Turner), Don McDougal (Turner), in short sleeves, because the building is now enjoying temporary heat, and Dan Weese (Weese Langley Weese).
Above, scaffolding erected in Harris 108 to facilitate construction of new ceiling. The crates hold the components of the aluminum wall system that will define the stairwells. Previously, the stairs were open, allowing a potential fire to easily travel from floor to floor. Modern building codes require that stairs are enclosed with rated construction to facilitate egress and to prevent (or at least limit) fire from spreading from one floor to the next. Enter Alumflam, a fire rated aluminum glazed wall system. The Aluflam system is composed of relatively small sections of aluminum and special fire resistant glass, providing a wall system that allows the stairs to remain light and to maintains the sight lines that existed before the renovation.
