Construction of a holography tower has started in the area 300 meters away from the assembly sites of the Japanese and North American antennas at the OSF.

The picture shows a concrete foundation block for the tower and a hole to bury it in. You can see in the back the temporary building to support assembly, integration and verification activities.
