McCown-Gordon parking garage site visit 11/04/2021
SEAKM students visit the McCown-Gordon parking garage in Aggieville to check its progress and analyze its design. The tour was led by the construction manager of the project, who walked through the construction process of the structural elements, some of the issues they had in design phase that impacted the construction and answered all questions the students had. At the time of the visit, November 2021, the upper levels of cast concrete were in place, and most of the work left was on the lower level. The parking garage is set to open to the public sometime in spring of 2022.
