The steel beam that was placed in the V.O Dobbins Center hallway for Douglass alumni and Riverview residents to sign, has now been hoisted and welded into place in the rafters of the new gymnasium under construction at the center on Louis Street.
The weather was not cooperating during the HOPE VI groundbreaking for the beam to be installed several weeks ago, but it is now in place, and we thought you'd want to see where it is.
The final resting place for the beam is a diagonal apex in the southern corner of the new gym, symbolically near the original entrance to Douglass High School. The signatures on the white beam are clearly visible, as the white beam is facing outward onto the basketball court, as the other pictures will show.
THE BEAM IS OVER THIS DOORWAY
