Construction Progress - Part XXII

It has been a while since we've had an update on the new facility. Today we have a very large update of photos, including some major new additions. Starting on the exterior of the building, the good weather has allowed the start on many of the sidewalks around the building including the MSU Surplus Store Outside Covered Sales Area. Many of the roadways and parking areas are being graded and leveled throughout the job site. A major new addition is the truck scale located on the southwest corner of the facility, where MSU Surplus Store and MSU Recycling trucks will be able to weigh materials that are being processed through the facility. On the north side of the site we also have the start of the MSU Recycling drop off area, which will provide 24 hour access to recycling containers for MSU students, faculty and staff.

The largest new feature on the inside of the facility is the large conveyor, sorting line and baler in the MSU Recycling processing area. This equipment assists in moving items into sorting containers and then moves the product to the compactor for preparation for shipment to off site recycling facilities. Many of the finish items such as doors, electrical and networking outlets have been installed as the buildings completion date approaches.

Remember to keep checking back for more updates! Also don't forget that we have a compilation of all of the constructions photos available. We would also like to thank Irish Construction Company who has been very gracious in allowing us access and keeping us up to date with the progress of construction.
