GALLERY: New steel goes into place on new Bayer Plant Science Tower

The project, scheduled for completion by the end of February, completes the exterior enhancement of CASNR's new Bayer Plant Science Building and visually ties the new and old buildings together. The tower is being built by Vaughn Construction.
