Workers install cement forms to received poured concrete. These are the footings for the back stairs which come down from the Student Housing building. Because of engineering requirements, the structure is pretty substantial, and it is important to prepare the ground (gravel) as well as install strong footings to hold the structure against any settling or shifting over time.
Wooden forms have been removed revealing the cured concrete shapes of the footings. These will then be buried with only the tops revealed. Note the threaded rod and strapping that is embedded at the top for creating a postive connection between the concrete footing and the wooden structure to be built on top.
