Construction is well underway on the Manning Institute of Biotechnology at the Fontaine Research Park. After the blasting efforts to remove rock were completed in July 2024, the project team moved their efforts to grading the earthwork to provide a building pad. Foundation and underground utility work are now progressing.

The Manning Institute’s first tower crane will be erected the weekend of December 14. The picture below shows the concrete foundation for this tower crane. A second tower crane for the project will be erected in January 2025. Photo credit: Ted Nelson.
