Second-Floor Drywall Installation Underway at the Woolworth Building

Crews install drywall panels on the second-floor framing at the Woolworth building.

Drywall installation has progressed to the second floor of the Woolworth building, where crews are defining rooms and hallways throughout the upper level. Crew members carry and align each drywall panel before securing it to the metal framing with power tools. For the taller wall sections, they use stilts to reach and fasten panels along the upper framing. With each board added, the open framing transforms into enclosed spaces, marking a major step forward in shaping the building’s second-floor interior.
