Around 5:55 AM today the south wall of our new "Press Pavilion" where the mailroom operations will be lost two of its concret panels.

The construction crews were just starting work when this happened.

No one was hurt, but we were advised to not exit fron the north office doors for the remainder of the day.

Here's a link to the construction site webcam, and its hard to make out but where you see the big gaping hole is where the two panels fell.
