Construction Update 7/12/10

A little over a month after heavy steel was completed for the new Federal Courthouse, work continues to fireproof the structure and build interior walls.  Exterior precast panels should be erected in the near future.

Interior walls being constructed on the west half of the building.  This space will contain courtrooms as well as the vertical glass atrium overlooking downtown Cedar Rapids.

Work continues on the Human Services Building.  In the distance, the old Sinclair property continues to be razed; the century-old smokestack is scheduled to come down in stages starting next week.
