(pictured) A steel assembly crew from Des Moines-based US Erectors began setting steel decking and beams for the new LeBaron Hall last week. A crew also is forming and pouring a set of round concrete columns (not visible in this image) at what will be the south entry and commons area of the new building. All the footings and foundation walls for the replacement project have been completed. Visible in the image below is a central stairwell and elevator shaft and north stairwell. Construction remains on schedule to conclude in the fall of 2026.
