Blowing snow and 20-degree temperatures failed
to delay the scheduled start of a major phase in the construction of the
Dolan Center for Science and Technology yesterday. The first steel
girders were bolted in place by ironworkers from Kelley Steel Erectors,
much to the satisfaction of (above, l to r) Bill Heywood, quality control
specialist for Turner Construction; and Chemistry Professor David Ewing,
Dolan Center users committee chair. By the time the $66.4 million
structure is topped off near the end of May, 1,300 tons of structural
steel will have been used -- domestic steel, fabricated by Ferguson Steel
of Columbus. (The only delay yesterday came when the first
truckloads were temporarily held up near Mansfield on a snowy I-71.)
