The building begins to take shape

The last three weeks have seen wonderful progress on site. Lots of things have been going up.

The crane went up two weeks ago and has made a big difference to work on site; making it easier to move materials and pour concrete on most days in the last week. All 1st floor slabs are now completed with the exception of the northern sector of the building that will have just three floors plus the roof top terrace. This slab will be completed soon and when it is the momentum of the project will pick up again as floors go up more quickly.

The suspended slab floor over the basement was poured.


The first walls went up.

A sense of the scale of the New College Village and the progress can be gained from this aerial photo taken by Tim Calpito from the top of the new L5 Building (old bowling alley and later Unisearch) that was also built by Lipman.
