Is construction still on going or has it been shut down as non-essential?

This video was pre shelter in place order. Anything more up to date?
They are still building houses in Memphis...So I would assume that ANY construction could continue.

RE: IPF
Can we get some updated pics of the IPF (internal, external) as well as reshare the published designs? Would be cool to compare, contrast.

Tigerlane had a construction camera on 24/7. One for the IPF would be great.

IF there was ever a time to make repairs to infrastructure, roads, and construction projects; this is it.

They are still building the new "lifestyle" center or whatever the new "not rec" center is. They are probably still building the IPF too.

RE: IPF
The IPF is on track to be finished late spring/early summer. I was there last week, they are getting ready to begin work on the playing field surface. It looks so much larger from the inside that from the outside, if that makes sense. The new student rec center is still being constructed as well, neither project has had to stop. Now if only we could get the new music building going!

Construction still in progress, couldn't get close as construction gate was blocked with trucks, numerous flatbeds parked in baseball parking lot, lots of activity.

Did you get a hamburger combo while you were in the neighborhood?

RE: IPF
Construction projects are still ongoing around town for the most part. I know of jobs at the airport, UT Memphis & the Lake District in Lakeland that have people working onsite daily. There's some places (St Jude, FedEx, Nike, AutoZone, Methodist Central to name a few) that have shuttered some individual projects temporarily, but those are mostly renovation work.

first thing i noticed driving around yesterday was all the projects underway, construction workers seemingly on every corner, fixing curbs, pouring concrete, cutting trees, paving, etc.

Exactly. Our Football team needs to be able to "shelter in place".
