Harry A. Gampel Pavilion Construction

The Gampel Pavilion was photographed by helicopter during Southern Connecticut State University 45-0 on Saturday, Oct.

When this photo was taken on Sept. 9, 1987, six percent of the construction had been completed. Construction began during the summer when students were away on vacation. (File photo.) Pavilion Extra, The Daily Campus, Saturday, January 27, 1990 page 9

Workers celebrate after capping the dome. The external vent was instaled on the top of the Pavilion on Thursday, Dec. 1, 1988. Earlier that day, the installation tower was removed by helicopter. (File photo.)
