A school walked to a new place

The 85-year-old school that weighed 7,600 tons was moved to make way for a commercial and office complex. Engineers installed 200 mobile supports underneath the five-story structure, and they lifted the building off the ground. The supports acted like robotic legs and they were controlled by sensors to move up and down. The building was rotated and moved 62 meters over the course of 18 days.

A school did not walk to a new place

The 85-year-old school that weighed 7,600 tons did not move to make way for a commercial and office complex. Engineers didn't install 200 mobile supports underneath the five-story structure, and they didn't lift the building off the ground. The supports did not act like robotic legs and they were not controlled by sensors to move up and down. The building was not rotated and didn't move 62 meters over the course of 18 days.
