Workers have spent the past several months installing the hokiestone exterior to the New Residence Hall West. As you can see the are installing it in a diagonal method working four floors of scafoling at the same time. This process is very time consuming and looks to require skilled labor to set the stone straight and in a fashion so that the other stones will fit properly.

I have also included a photo taken several months ago showing the blackcat that was applied to the CMU before the stone could be layed on. There was also work going on on the inside where they seemed to be finishing off the interior walls and sealing off the remaining parts of the building that were exposed to the outside.

A plastic covering over much of the buildings exterior which provide a way for the motar to dry and be kept out of the winter weather.
