The entire College of Veterinary Medicine was occupied during construction. Classes were taking place in the auditorium on the first floor directly below the construction area. The design team met an aggressive schedule, delivering a full structural package within 3 weeks of an approved concept design to allow the loudest activity (steel erection) to happen over the winter break when the building was least occupied.
