This blog will track the construction progress of the Annenberg Public Policy Center's new on-campus building. The building is a gift of the Annenberg Foundation and the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands, which have contributed a total of $41.5 million to the project, including $6 million earmarked for perpetual maintenance. Occupancy of the building, designed by noted Tokyo architect Fumihiko Maki, is now set for late summer 2009.

With a wave, an iron worker signals completion of another phase: the final structural steel beam going into the shear walls of the loading deck. This steel will be filled with a rebar grid and imbedded in concrete for strength and fire protection.
