3D drone scans being taken of River Campus buildings
Beginning today, April 16, through April 30, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Bell & Spina Architects will be using a drone to do a 3D scan of the building facades of Wallis Hall, Dewey Hall, Bausch & Lomb Hall, Lattimore Hall, Morey Hall, and Goergen Athletic Center as part of a masonry evaluation study. This is weather-dependent and will not occur if it is raining. The drone may be seen flying around the buildings, but it will be taking 3D scans—not photos of students, faculty, or staff. Contact Julie Fiske at (585) 255-0983 or via email with questions.
