I’m the Barts Electric videographer, and I’m out here on a project of arts. Nobody really wants to hear from the videographer; I just thought I’d share a couple of comments from somebody who doesn’t do this for a living. You know, the construction world is really amazing. I mean, I walked through this project very quickly today, had my camera on, and I was here. I don’t know, I think it was maybe four to six months ago to see the difference that has happened to this project since the last time I was out here.

Literally, it’s just a beehive of activity today. It feels like there’s a hundred people out here to me. The part that’s amazing for somebody who is a novice and doesn’t see this stuff all the time and certainly doesn’t have a lot of experience in it is all the planning that you have to appreciate that goes on in a project like this. Making all the trades work together—you know, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, all the interior work—all of that stuff has to be coordinated.

When you walk around the building, it feels like there’s, um, it’s just chaos, kind of. But when you walk into certain rooms and you see people’s desks, their makeshift desks, and their planning calendars and their whiteboards and all of that, you realize, no, this thing is, there’s a plan going on here big time. In fact, it has to be, or things are going to go wrong, badly wrong, and it won’t be as safe, which is another thing that really sticks out when you look at a project like this—the safety has to be a primary importance.

You get a feel for the requirements of what people have to wear and the way they put netting around the welder, for example, and it’s just an impressive thing to watch if you’re not familiar with it and aren’t in this profession. You realize, wow, there’s a whole world of stuff that has to go on to make something like this happen and happen on time and successfully.
