Con­struc­tion Shorts: Bring in the Danc­ing Excavators

[vimeo http://​vimeo​.com/​62796566] Staff of Liro/​STV put togeth­er a short video of the demo­li­tion of a non-his­toric addi­tion to Liggett Hall (Build­ing 400). The removal of the obso­lete eye­sore returns this part of the build­ing to its orig­i­nal form and helps clear the way to cre­ate Liggett Ter­race, a live­ly plaza that will be com­plet­ed lat­er this year. Work­ers had already done the painstak­ing man­u­al labor need­ed to pro­tect the his­toric struc­ture, and all that was left to be done was to pull down the offend­ing struc­ture with two care­ful­ly syn­chro­nized exca­va­tors. Watch!
