Construction of the J. Paul Leonard Library Addition (Crane and Concrete Hopper) (Updated two months ago)

You can view this bundle in the SFSU Over the Years collection area.

A crane lifts a suspended concrete hopper across the construction site during the expansion of the J. Paul Leonard Library at San Francisco State University. In the background, a cement mixer truck and earthwork areas illustrate the coordination of heavy equipment used to pour structural concrete. Likely dating to the late 1960s–early 1970s, this image highlights the scale and complexity of campus growth during this period.
