Show !MONDAY, JU LY 1 ,. 1001 UNIVERSITY JOU RNAL CAMPUS .NEWS PAGE 7 ·1 HARD HAT AREA Jackhammers, shovels, sweat and a lot of muscles is what it takes to lift a building. Work, recently started by Hogan Construc;tion, on SUU's Life Science Building, will do just that " It's mainly a stabilization project," said Dale Brinkerhoff, SUU superintendent of buildings. The building, which has been "settling" for a few years, is being "lifted up" by placing steel pylons around the foundation and, using hydraulic pressure, bringing it bijck to level. The construction project will be completed Aug. 14 before school starts, said Brinkerhoff. " We'll level it as best we can, replace the tile, paint it and clean it up and we'll have a nice Looking Life Science Building again for a long lime," said Brinkerhoff. The money for the project is part of building reconstluction funds appropriated by the Utah State Legislature during its 2001 legislative session. Oth9r projects supported by the funds will be reconstruction of the Braithwaite Cel"!ler and Old Main , which are under design, sa id Brinkerhoff, and the razing of the old Middle School.
