Until they decide the fate of the old laundry building (far right, in the back) or the Medical Arts Building (far right, up front - but our Wound Care Clinic is still in there, so it's not coming down any time soon), demolition is complete and now they're just trucking in fill and grading everything smooth.

The lot is almost filled in and graded. There's a pit on the far West (right) side with water from the past two days' torrential rains - that was the support wall for the West tower and also the ambulance bay. Almost everything else has been broken up, ground into gravel, mixed with soil, and packed into the basements of the various buildings. At this point, all that really remains of Porter Memorial Hospital is the old Medical Arts Building on the Northwest corner, which is still occupied by the Wound Care Clinic, and the old Laundry Building, which I understand the university will be keeping and using for something.

The in-filling of the East side basement continues. They're breaking up the old concrete into smaller chunks, then feeding it into a large crusher, then mixing the crushed concrete with soil and packing it into the hole where the sub-basement and basement used to be.

Been over a week since my last photos - there just weren't huge visual differences. However, today you can really see the leveling of the lot happening, how they're grinding up the old building's concrete and mixing it with soil, then dumping it in the basements and packing it down.

On the corner of the old hospital campus is the Medical Arts Building, which has housed various things over the years. Currently, the only residents are the Wound Care clinic staff until their new space is ready, at which point the building will also be torn down. The north entrance has a metal railing with decorative ironwork. This is one of the emblems - the central medallion with the letters "MAB" on it.

The landfill process has begun, with ground concrete being mixed with soil and dumped into the old basment and lower levels. Olympus E-M5, d.

Every time I see these machines do their choreographed dance, they remind me of large, hungry dinosaurs. Olympus E-M5, OM Zuiko 75-150]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 10 Sep 2013 23:51:00 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=7945 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=7945
