Two Weeks Later

It was two weeks ago this morning that a landing collapsed on the back stairs.  For the first time since then, there are stairs that can be used in case of an emergency at all three points where there were stairs before the collapse. Temporary stairs replace what were torn down on the back of Building A and the side of Building B.

Signs from Metro Codes Department indicating the stairs unsafe for use have been taken down and new signs indicating stairs can be used for emergencies have been put up.  Building A third floor emergency exit sign and lights still covered up, however.

Photos shot Thursday and Friday document the temporary stairs going up and major reinforcement work done to front landing connecting buildings A and B.
