January and February

2005


 

Through January and February 2005 the bulk of the work in Murdock Hall was demolition. All office partitions and a number of non-weight baring walls were removed. The demolition has exposed signs of earlier renovations.  Here is a look of what is going on inside of the building. Captions are provided yet some pictures are puzzles that we ask for your help to solve

This blue wall was in the TV studio. The widows here look out onto Church Street.

From the north end of the basement area, standing by the radio station entrance all you could see was the door to the bathroom. With the basement bathrooms gone you can see the south end steps.

This is another view of the TV studio Church Street windows.

Standing in what was Sharron Zavattaro's Murdock Hall Office we are able to look straight in to the Learning Services computer lab.

Just wanted to give one last look of the soon to be demolished elevator shaft. This was taken on the second floor.

Jerry Desmarais has been attending the weekly construction meetings and is eager to put up the construction sign on the front lawn.

At the conclusion of a weekly construction meeting in February I asked why scaffolding was needed for an interior renovation. I was told that the old air circulation fans and vents were being removed from the attic. The items were too larger to come down the stairs so they would need to come our through the roof.

I need help on this one. Where is this located and where does it go?

The square cutouts on either side of the doorway were heat vents.

This picture was taken on the north end of the building on the second floor.  The elevator shaft has been removed.

This is the same second floor area taken from the stairs.

This picture was taken on the third floor of the building on the south end. It is amazing how light the area looks.

These two pictures show what were once sky lights on the third floor.
