Photos of original groundbreaking and construction are |
This is the first page of the Fred Hall Demolition Website which will (sooner or later) also include photos of the fragmentation of the building in Summer, 2004 along with views of metal reclamation, asbestos abatement and other such activities. Rather than being consigned to landfill, many tons of material from the building have been salvaged as one can find out here. Comments on this website are welcome, and any submitted photos will be immediately added and fully credited (as always on jlindquist.com). |

Wednesday, August 251: The primary instrument of destruction in this project is the versatile Komatsu PC400LC – normally marketed as an hydraulic excavator but here fitted with an extra long arm for precise, multi-level dismantling of high buildings. Here we see the arm stretched to full length behind Fred Hall. 2 and 3: Fred Hall's last "intact" evening. Thursday, August 264: The very first nip taken out of the building in the early afternoon. A close-up is shown here. 5 and 6: In short order, more of the exterior is ripped away from the teaching laboratory wing. Friday, August 277: The upstairs teaching lab (Room 118) caves in a bit more. 8: During a break in the activity, I got the OK to take one last look at the downstairs lab (Room 22) where I did most of my teaching during the 35 years I spent in Fred Hall on the instructional staff. Here we are looking through the open window toward my old office (Room 22A) in the opposite corner. 9: A view of the rubble accumulated so far outside of the lab. 10: Back to work again, the Komatsu prepares to rip away some more.
