University of Pennsylvania Quadrangle – 71 Chimney scaffolds!!!

March 31, 2026

You read that correctly! 71 Chimneys! Look at our scaffold all over the entire Quad complex!

Designed by Cope and Stewartson, its architecture was inspired by Oxford and Cambridge universities, featuring a blend of medieval and Renaissance styles. Today, it is organized into three distinct college houses: Fischer Hassenfeld, Ware, and Riepe, and remains a central landmark of undergraduate life on campus. (this from their website).

Twas the night before Thanksgiving And all through the house Not a creature was stirring – Not even a mouse. Everyone had eaten And had retired to the couch Except for a one Anthony Pini Because he was no slouch While others watch sports And played games with their spouse Mister Pini was eating And cleaning house When his work phone rang It gave him a slight pang Because he knew an emergency Would end his Thanksgiving, with a Bang. Not hesitating, he answered the phone Just like on any other night And as he sped down I-95 Not a person was in sight With a chill in the air And a turkey leg in his hand Anthony pini made a gesture So...

I posted this job to show just how creative Superior Scaffold erectors can get when erecting a system scaffold. This job was for EDA Contractors and we had to get their crew to the roofline of this building without touching the structure or damaging any of the landscaping. This shot sums up how awesome our scaffold erectors are! They had to do this all around the property to get the scaffold into just the right spot to keep building up to the roof. These photos were taken as the scaffold was going up. The finished product was decked in solid around the perimeter...

One of the biggest challenges was to span the iconic Miller Theater...
