The New Frontiers construction site is booming with activity as crews are rapidly drilling the almost 200 piers that will extend down 50 feet to support the building. They also installed the base of the tower crane with 150 tons of concrete in preparation for the remainder of the crane in July.
Construction crews completed the base of the tower crane by pouring 150 tons of concrete that will cure for two weeks. The remainder of the crane is expected to arrive in several pieces the beginning of July.

Construction is beginning to ramp up with the finalization of bids and the approved financing by the Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents for an extra $15.2 million to support New Frontiers. This action enabled continued progress on the construction site while protecting against any further market inflation.
