Construction of the J. Paul Leonard Library Addition (Concrete Pour)

About This Item

Construction workers pour concrete into reinforced steel forms during the expansion of the J. Paul Leonard Library at San Francisco State University. The image captures a key stage of foundation work, with rebar grids, formwork, and a suspended concrete hopper in use. Likely dating to the late 1960s–early 1970s, this photograph documents the structural development of the library as the campus continued to expand.
