New SOM complex taking shape
The concrete at the 242,000-square-foot Edward P. Evans Hall is almost all in place. Since May, 10,000 cubic yards of concrete have been poured. By late October, the 4,750 pieces of steel that will comprise the building’s skeleton were expected to begin arriving. If everything goes according to plan, the 20-foot steel sections will be installed over the following few months. Beginning in spring, the plan is to begin installing 130,000 square feet of glass, of eight different types. The final year or so of the project will focus on finishing the inside and landscaping. Full-sized trees will be brought into the 25,000-square-foot courtyard—built on more than four-foot-deep soil laid over the parking garage; inside, 782 doors will be hung using 30 different hardware configurations.
