On August 9 we posted a photograph of work on reinforcing rod, and on August 11 the same spot with forms in place, ready to pour concrete. On August 18, after a week for the concrete to cure, the earthmoving subcontractor started backfilling behind the new wall. The photograph above shows the area along the east side of the new addition as soil was moved to fill behind the wall; the brick wall of Nieman Hall is visible at right, and the new construction is in the background. Below is a view after the backfilling was completed. It was to support the weight of this soil that the poured concrete structure was required. The wall will protect the east end of the courtyard outside the Epiphany Chapel and the Madison Day Care classrooms.
