Oregon State University, USA Live Cam

Construction of the Arts and Education Complex fills this view at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Excavators work on the cleared site in the middle of the frame, with campus buildings and a car park around it.

What is going up here is a performance building for the music and theatre departments: a concert hall, a smaller flexible theatre, gallery space and a place for shows in the open air. It also turns this corner into a main entrance to the campus, on the side where the town meets the university.

The camera works as a record of the build rather than a view: the frame changes as the structure goes up. Corvallis winters are wet, and the site spends months as mud and standing water.
