Deconstructing the Physical Education Center (PEC)

In the fall and winter of 2010, closely following the completion of the new Charles Benson Bear '39 Recreation and Athletic Center, workers dismantled and largely recycled the College’s Physical Education Complex (PEC). You can read all about the 1971 building’s history in the Spring 2011 issue of The Grinnell Magazine. Ken Saunders, the College’s maintenance manager, meticulously documented the deconstruction process and shares these photos.
