Gallery # 15 - April 25, 2008
April 25, 2008: The track has been paved; the far side of the field is being covered with a tarp. Meanwhile, a layer of gravel has been spread over the tarp on the near side of the field.
This composite of five photographs show the newly-paved track, with the bleachers laid over the pavement between the track and the fence.
From the patio outside the gym, one gets a good view of the field, with the Downtown skyscrapers in the background.
Neat piles of brick wait for installation.
Brick walls are rising between the two posts nearest to us.
The pink and yellow string show where the brick walls will go.
A view from the ground shows the rebar where posts will be constructed.
Soon, the area between the new fence and the Senior Building will have more room for lunch lines and such.
This composite of five pictures show progress on the new walls being raised.
The surface of the track has a beautiful surface.
Much work has been done in just the past few weeks.

These beams await eventual installation. Note the twin curbs, with the wood plank between them. They form a drainage channel.
Yet another pole near the bleachers below the MHR Conference Room.
Soon, turf will grace the field.
Another view of the field.
These metal pieces will soon be installed.
The channel formed by the two curbs will have this durable plastic screen to make a level surface.
