Beloved Fenwick Library crane leaves campus

The crane above Fenwick library is being taken down from its perch.

The crane, affectionally known as the ‘GMU Crane’ on social media, has assisted with construction on Fenwick and has become quite popular amongst students on campus. The crane even has its own parody Twitter account, which tweeted sadly earlier this afternoon about its departure.

According to Johnny Trejos, Project Engineer with Facilities Project Management & Construction, the crane was scheduled to start coming down this past Wednesday.

The account has received a multitude of feedback from students on Twitter.

Though the crane is beginning to be dismantled, it has not been confirmed when it will be completely removed from the construction site.

However, it was tweets such as these that made the crane so endearing.
