Incredible Progress: Building is 60% Complete!


The exterior 'skin" of the building is 65% complete and major equipment installation and rough in is nearing completion. Installation of sheetrock has begun on the interior walls. With 162 workers on the site, overall, the project is now 60% complete and on still on schedule.

Here are some interesting statistics:

  • 24,000 SF of glass has been installed. That's enough to fully cover 5 full size basketball courts
  • The building has 55,605 lineal feet of conduit (10 miles). Enough to run the entire length of St. Charles Avenue twice. 
  • 170,000 lineal feet (or 32 miles) of metal studs are in the building. If placed end to end, they would wrap around the Superdome 250 times.
