Document A Construction by JJason Recognition

I documented the construction of an athletic center at a local college. There are a lot of pictures. This is because there was a lot to document. I have chosen not to upload all one hundred twenty photos, instead placing them in online in a photo album and uploading only my favorite twelve pictures plus two short videos. The vast majority of the photos take place inside the construction site because it was night and therefore hard to photograph the outside. Many of the photographs are fairly dark and kind of blurry - this is because I didn't use a flash for fear of being noticed. I will also lay out the feeling of the place in those senses that cannot be depicted in photos:
Sound: The entire place was very quiet except for the constant flap of the plastic tarps, which were being blown on by giant fans, and the occasional area with dripping water. The entire effect was rather unsettling - it always sounded like somebody was moving around behind you.
Feel: Everything was slightly covered by dust. By and large I attempted to touch as few things as possible. figuring this would make me less likely to get caught.
Temperature: The construction site was noticeably inside than on the outside. This is likely because of the numerous hot air blowing machines, who's purpose I do not fully understand.
Smell: The complex smelled like concrete, dust, and dirt.
Emotional Impact: The entire place was very impressive, if only because of the size. I rarely spend time in enclosed spaces that big so it had the feeling similar of being in a cathedral. I only had a feeling of trespassing in the areas that were set up for the construction workers - everyplace else I felt right at home. Other than that there was the aforementioned paranoia - I was fairly worried about being caught while inside the building but, paradoxically, not at all worried while I was outside the building.
Aura: Purple-ish
Taste: I refrained from tasting any of the construction sight, so I couldn't say.
Atmospheric Pressure: Normal
Ghosts: After much investigation I can say that the construction site is not haunted. This may be because of the 24 hour electric lights in the facility, which would drive any ghosts away.
A tragic final note - while documenting this construction, I lost my beloved hat, which is pictured in my first player photograph. I did not realize this until I left the construction sight and given the size of the site, I do not anticipate it being recovered. This is very tragic but I will soldier on - sometimes sacrifices have to be made in the name of tasking.
First Floor
A large open first floor area, which will probably become a basketball court or something.
connector
The connection between the previously seen gym area and the rest of the first floor. There was a lot more stuff in this area.
Soda Machine
Although it makes perfect sense, I found it kind of weird that there were soda machines.

On the first floor, a complete rotation. The noise is from the fans and blowers.
Hallway
A hallway. This area would probably become offices or something. That pipe halfway down the hall was pretty impressive.
Second floor
The second floor. On the far side you can't see the stairs I came up from because it's too dark.

Looking down the stairs that took me all the way up to the roof. I didn't try to open the gate thing that lead to the roof for fear that I wouldn't be able to close it again. This has happened to me before.

Another complete rotation, but on the second floor.
Wire
Back on the second floor, there were all sorts of these wires supported from the ceiling. The ladder in the background goes up to the roof but I did not.

No. No I do not. This task would've counted as trespassing, but that's retired.
Vote, in memory of a beloved hat.
