353 tons of reinforcing steel. 4,385 light fixtures. 2,200 pages of building specifications. These are just some of the numbers that, when added together, make up the new Dineen Hall for the College of Law. Of course, the most important number is the number of students attending class there. But before they step foot in the door, here’s what it took to get this far:

• 200,000-square-foot building

• 483 doors

• 264 windows

• 24,855-square-foot of Curtainwall (outer covering)

• 30,000 cubic yards of soil removed

• 151 caissons with a maximum depth of 45 feet

• 2,113 cubic yards of concrete poured in caissons

• 2,888 yards of concrete poured in grade beam, foundation walls and stair towers

• 80 yards of concrete in floor structures

• 1,500 tons of structural steel

• 700 tons of recycled materials

• 956 drawing sheets submitted for just structural steel fabrication

• 803 requests for information

• 595 construction drawings

• 6 tons of stone used in the precast terrazzo stair treads for the main stair from ground to first floor and the communicating stair from ground to the fourth floor

• 16 tons of stone used in the terrazzo flooring on the first floor

• 39 tons of stone used in the terrazzo flooring on the ground floor

• Service elevator (Buck hoist) used during construction clocked 474 miles while in use approximately 1.89 miles a day
