A drone captures a photos of large construction equipment parked in the cleared-out Quad at the University of Missouri–St. Louis last week as the deconstruction of the Social Sciences and Business Building Tower moves forward. The Quad is serving as a staging area during the removal of the tower and the modernization and expansion of SSB to follow as part of the Transform UMSL initiative. Access to the Quad will be limited during the tower deconstruction.
