Main Hall Flag Pole

The rigging for the flag pole above Main Hall was damaged in the high winds of a couple of weeks ago. It is a complicated repair process given the fact that the pulley for the line is mounted atop a pole that stands 17 feet above the roof of the cupola! Facility Services is aware of the issue and is working on a solution. The flag will be back up as soon as repairs are completed.
