Crews pour concrete slab for WAM's new galleries

On Monday, June 28, construction crews poured the slab deck for four new galleries being built off the southeast corner of the Weisman as part of its expansion. Over 50 trucks delivered concrete to WAM throughout the day. When cured, the surface will contain approximately 520 cubic yards of material.

The Weisman's John Allen illustrates the process in the video below.

See the entire concrete slab as it cures and watch the expansion as it happens live on WAMCam.
