Week 1 - 05/07/18 to 05/11/18
The team focused on physical measurements. Aaslestad Preservation Consulting photographed the exteriors and interiors of the structure in the Photogrammetric process ( 3-D Model). Asstestad will develop a set of "as-found" drawings in AutoCad. In addition members of the Joseph K. Oppermann Architect team started research in the Basilica's archive as well as other local repositories.

Week 2 - 05/14/18 to 05/18/18
Work continued on developing the historical background. Early June will see the team conduct building archaeology to corroborate archival research. The highlight of the project is scheduled during this timeframe. Vertical Access, a contractor collaborating on condition assessments, will focus on the building's exterior structures and tile vaulting. For the exterior analysis, Vertical Access crews will rappel down the exterior surfaces of the Basilica. This will really be worth watching, so watch the website as we will publish the exact dates well in advance.
