GRHC - 2008

Looking north across Hall St. SW, the emerging first floor of the school, which will be the administrative offices, continues to take shape behind protective Cyclone fencing as a second story is added on the right, vertical steel columns and horizontal floor support beams indicating the location of future construction, the large, red crane rising above all. Construction workers are rerouting power and utilities.
