Indeed;
To my understanding, the ASEC will not be completed until 2032. This seems outlandish, but the whole project is exceedingly complex. The sequential steps are:
1) - build the new laboratory annex (underway)
2) - move everything from the current building into the new building.
3) - deconstruct the old building, including the facade. All the bricks of the current front facade will be numbered and removed for storage.
4) - The new main building will be built on the footprint of the old building (but expanded to the rear and to the south)
5) - The facade will be rebuilt using the preserved brickwork.
6) - the new atrium behind the reconstructed facade will be created.
7) - the offices and educational facilities in the main building will be constructed.
Very complex work to be sure!!!
