The Boldt Company hired me last Fall to take photos of a unique crane lift, as part of the new Lawrence University and Trout Museum of Art building in downtown Appleton. A total of 46, 72ft x 13ft, developed by Minneapolis-based RISE Modular, were lifted by a crane to construct the top two floors of the building. These modular units will become market-rate apartments over a first-floor museum, and potentially for Lawrence University student housing in the future.
