Lay of the lawn

Workers smooth out new sod across the quad in front of Monroe Residence Hall on Tuesday morning (June 26). It’s been approximately two years since the space was taken over by stacks of building materials, heavy machinery and temporary office modules needed for the construction of the Goldring/Woldenberg Business Complex, which was completed in January. Two 18-wheelers delivered more than 3,000 square yards of hybrid Bermuda grass in 70-by-3.5-foot rolls. The installation was completed in under five hours. Check out the time-lapse video of the installation below.
