THEN AND NOW (INTERMEZZO)

The QVC project is in a transition phase. The major demolition actions (gutting of building, removal of administrative wing, extraction of the crane, and demolition of the Rotunda) are completed. Presently we are strengthening the steel skeleton of the building with pilings, new footers, etc. This will continue for another month or more. The final phase will involve rebuilding and rehabilitating what will become the new building, installing new museum exhibits, and uncovering and cleaning the quarry face and its dinosaur bones.

So this is probably a good point at which to take a look at how far we have come.  Remember, some of the former building will not be replaced and is now just space!
