This building was in need of repair. The University also wanted to expand the existing structure which called for construction over the top of the campus lake.

Water quality was a major concern for the University. The noise of driving sheet piling made that method of coffer-daming undesirable. Classes had to be held during the construction period.

A 6' high AquaDam® was started far up the bank. Ropes were placed around the unit to hold it back as it unrolled across the lake. Pumping time was started at 2:02 pm, as you can see in the right side of this picture.
