Hall of Science Reaches New Stage of Construction

The Hall of Science has finished placing structural steel and is currently in the process of building the exterior and beginning sitework and landscaping for the building.

According to a project schedule provided by CSULB, these stages of work will not be finished until January of next year. In the meantime, passersby may notice the uprising of brick walls which will eventually surround the final product, as noted in predictive pictures like the one seen here. In addition, the on-site camera accentuates permanent staircases that currently provide use for construction workers.

To follow exactly what those workers are doing, the following is directly how the official website explains the building's progress:

• July-October 2009 — Structural Steel
