As the temperature rises, so does the Hayden-Clark Alumni Center

Forty to 50 workers of various trades are toiling through the early summer heat, and through rain showers when they can. Peoria’s June rainfall has already nearly doubled the monthly average, leaving workers to circumnavigate wide, sporadic puddles through the site, but assistant project manager Jesse Staley says the project is right on schedule.  The exterior walls have all been framed, duct and plumbing work is underway, and workers are now able to utilize an interior stairwell to access the upper reaches of the building.  Soon the roof will take shape, making way for limestone walls to fill the gaps separating the not-quite-Bradley-red iron frame.
