Moving the Model

The I.M. Pei project team began work with a Feb. 3, 2010 meeting convened by Rachel Mosman. The group met at Boulevard Cafeteria and agreed to bring various contacts, resources and efforts together to move the I.M. Pei model from an underground storage unit to Oklahoma City’s General Services building. On Feb. 19, 2010, three large crates containing the model were moved to the General Services building. It was there that a forklift was used to lift the crates to a secure second story work room. The model was later inspected by Wiley White, one of the nation’s premier architectural model builders, who determined it was in excellent shape and in need of minimal clean-up and repair.
