Release: SCHEMATIC DESIGNS FOR SOUTH END ZONE PROJECT RELEASED

I agree with this. But, I have to wonder at this from the linked document (Page 2, last paragraph.: following Board approval of the schematic design, additional items were discovered that require an increase in the budget." Some of that certainly should have been known prior to design shouldn't it? Additional secondary steel for the new scoreboard and adding a fascia/ribbon board?
Good point. Since its at least a year off, I'm sure JP is looking for additional donations. Too bad the football team continues to not justify the support.
I would love it if they could put the ribbon board in a mode that makes it a decibel meter.... to encourage the crowd.
The louder the crowd... the farther up the ribbon board the lights will go......
Would really be cool during the "Cyclone" "Power" exchange... we could get a reading on which side is louder...
really get the crowd messing with the lights and such... could be pretty cool especially during night games..

Once they get up out of the ground the rain isn't as big of a deal. They'll lose a day with the rain but it's not several days like you'd lose with on ground construction.
Oh, and that beam was aluminum. The highly technical name is Alumabeam.
The cold and snow might make things a little more painful but they can still pour concrete in winter. We're doing it on my job in NY and I've seen them do it before at ISU.
Those beams are for the deck shoring and are only temporary. Once the concrete is poured and cures, they get removed.
Under the east wedge is storage, but the rest of the club is two stories.
...I'm not sure I follow what you're asking
Anyone have any idea where the project is relative to schedule? I would think with the overall favorable fall weather (limited precip/decent temps) we should be ahead of schedule.
Also, will they be doing concrete work on the upper level over the winter, or will that have to wait until temps warm up?

They havent stopped with concrete yet even during some of our colder days, so i imagine that will continue. Looks like they just poured a large section of concrete today even.
So that deck is down now, and they just poured this morning, that's the main level ((2nd level/floor) of the club - correct?
That steel getting put up is for the roof and scoreboard support (I'd imagine), right?

They have 4 steel columns set already today. Steel erection should fly--lots of progress over the next couple weeks.
