Construction crews continue to make progress on the Rio Grande Campus renovations. In May, shoring — the process of temporarily supporting a building with props during alterations — was completed at the south mechanical room and the elevated slab poured. Slab was also poured at the south multipurpose room. In the center area, the columns and beams from levels 0 to 3 were demolished. Plumbing pipes have been installed underground at the bottom level.

In June, new slab will be poured at level 1 north entry and around the north and south chase. Crews will also start steel framing and metal decking at level 2 east entry and do the formwork for the slab in the ACCelerator room.
