Assembly of Laminated Arches
The laminated arches are hoisted into place by a crane and connected at the peak through a steel connecting hub. 

Connecting Arches
The UCS crew uses a lift to assist them in connecting the arches to the steel connector. 

Lifting an Arch
Since a laminated arch is so massive, the UCS crew uses a crane to lift and position it in place.

West Cannon Baptist used an exterior gable extension at the front of their octagon structure
