A (snowless) late-winter aerial view of the Fogg Art Museum reconstruction shows a huge crane—put in place once new subsurface floors were built—beginning to place the steel frame for the new Prescott Street entrance. In April, the reopening was deferred; it is now scheduled for fall 2014.

Published in the May-June 2012 print issue under the headline “Taking Shape,” in the John Harvard's Journal section.
