The West AJ renovation is an interesting sight due to the scaffolding that makes it look like it has a large exoskeleton. This site was the most difficult to asses because it seemed like most of the work was being done on the inside. There was a bit of work being done on the outside that involved precast concrete which appeared to be going on outside the windows. My most pressing question about this site was the scaffolding. Blacksburg has a tendency to have brutal winters that get extremely cold. With the metal scaffolding it seems like they would get easily slick and could cause an unsafe working condition for the laborers. If I were to be running the schedule my main goal would be to finish the outer work before it began to get cold then while in the winter months work on the inside, this would allow better working conditions for the workers and less risk walking out onto the scaffolding in the freezing cold.
