Is equiptment close? Everything is very close on this site. There is not a lot of extra room to work with.
Are there idle workers? Everyone seems to be staying busy.
Construction Activities:  The fire protection and sprinkler system are being installed by Fire and Life safety America. The masonry company is applying the hokie stone to the lower exterior of the building. HVAC, Electrical, Plubming, and Drywall are being installed by the interior finish workers.
Does safety seem to be of importance? There are safety fences surrounding the perimeter of the building along with guardrails on the roof and lifts. The only person I saw on a lift had his harness on and was properly secured. Everyone on site are wearing the proper PPE. According to the superintendent, there is a weekly walk through that takes place on the jobsite to guarentee that there   are no safety issues that haven't been addressed.
Comments/Remarks: I found out that this is a 77,000 sq ft with a $45,000,000 budget. Also it is expected to be done this coming summer in time for the new classes to start.
