Exterior, below-grade waterproofing is being installed. The interior column footings are being prepped for steel by setting anchor plates at the correct elevations, then the plate&#8217;s underside is grouted to provide solid bearing. In the next few weeks, the site contractor will complete backfilling of the foundation and inside the building will be complete. Steel beams and girders are scheduled to be onsite in mid-January when the steel erection process, which includes the columns, floor beams and floor decking, will begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"188032\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/west-wall-no-backfill.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/west-wall-no-backfill.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/west-wall-no-backfill-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/west-wall-no-backfill-364x364.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/west-wall-no-backfill-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Looking north, toward South Ferry Rd., the west wall\u2019s trench before backfilling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"793\" data-id=\"188031\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/waterproofing.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/waterproofing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/waterproofing-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/waterproofing-768x761.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/waterproofing-364x361.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/waterproofing-500x496.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Waterproofing of the west wall must be installed before backfilling can happen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"188030\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/last-of-the-rebar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/last-of-the-rebar.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/last-of-the-rebar-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/last-of-the-rebar-364x364.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/last-of-the-rebar-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Installation of foundation reinforcing steel is complete and ready for concrete.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"188029\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/forming-the-walls.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188029\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The final section of formwork is completed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"188028\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/elevator-well.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/elevator-well.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/elevator-well-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/elevator-well-364x364.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/elevator-well-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A curing blanket prevents the elevator pit\u2019s concrete from freezing as it cures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"188027\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/column-footings.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/column-footings.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/column-footings-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/column-footings-364x364.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/column-footings-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Column footings with steel bearing plates.
