Concrete deck and stairs serve as the roof for the new mechanical room on the west side of the building.  They will get covered with a waterproof membrane and stone.

There Is Love In This Work

The roof of the new subterranean mechanical room on the west side of Harris Hall will be a structural concrete structure that will support new stairs at the main building entrance and a plaza that joins the building with the main path that connects the campus to Sheridan Road.  A plywood deck was constructed to support the steel rebar and concrete.  This deck is supported by temporary “shoring” (a network of metal posts and wood beams), that will soon be removed (see the photo).
