The red trusses and blue temporary deck will be removed. N St Mary's will need to be closed for this, so planning after Spring Break/before Fiesta. The rest of the structure will continue to go up while that's happening.
A while back someone asked about the concrete pump thing for upper floors. I think we will see that soon too.
I don't think fire will be a big delay, but was definitely an eye-opener!

THANK YOU! I understand now. This part is what clarified much:

I thought that was another floor.
