Aerial View of Blacksburg

Wonderful view of Blacksburg. It is from the crane being used to build a new Art Center for Virginia Tech. Photo is by Jim Stroup, Virginia Tech University Relations photographer.

The building crane is visible through the community.

Crane, lamp post, and pillar

Work on the new art center continues. The crane dominates the skyline these days.

Parking structure

This new parking structure at Virginia Tech is being put together like a "Lincoln Log" kit. Regularly, the massive pieces would arrive by truck (one per truck) and be placed in position by the crane.

Construction Crane

Still a lot of construction.
