Yep, it's the basement. The site plan renderings showed it.

Being in that area reminded me just how decrepit the Student Services Building looks compared to other structures. They really need to consider giving it a major overhaul soon, or even flattening the thing.

Here is a link to the webcam of the progress. It has a pretty good frame rate

The webcam today showed a cement floor for the museum.

Nice to see structural work actually beginning. I remember seeing a construction timeline somewhere, do you know where that can be found?

Jared

There's a basic timeline available at the MSU Physical Plant website (http://www.construction.msu.edu/construction/index.cfm/projects/broad-art-museum/)

They say: "Construction is planned to begin in March 2010 and will be substantially complete in April 2012, with final completion by December 2013."

The MSU State News posted an update on the construction.

They said that we will be able to see the structure rise above ground by November.
