2008 WMMC Demolition of the Main and West Buildings

The first portion began March 3, with "soft demolition" -- removal of everything inside the building, leaving only the building skeleton. Hard demolition – the demolition of the external walls – began at the end of March. A wrecking ball provided dramatic visuals as demolition continued in May. The demolition is expected to be completed at the end of June. After the site is cleared, the last phase of our campus construction -- building a new lobby concourse, gift shop and chapel – will begin. That construction, and our entire project, is estimated for completion at the end of 2009.
