The 36,000 pound truss is lifted off the ground with guide ropes draped below.
Men on the ground help guide the iron as the crane swings it around and toward the building.
The largest beam hoisted into place was 184 thousand pounds. 
Men on an industrial sized cherry picker await the beam and gently guide it in into place.
The truss is bolted into place.... the bottom, middle and top are secured before final tightening.
These pictures show the north side of the Performing Arts Center.... looking north across the street is this view of Bartle Hall and part of the skyline. Many thanks to Mike W., crane operator, who filled me in on some of the details.
