There are a few pictures taken at the site of the University Campus the DR is building at Limonade, Haiti.

They were taken during a visit Mertelly did to the Grupo M installations at the border, the DR biz people facilitated two Helicopters to transport the Haitian head of state and his security detail to the site.

When Martelly arrived, so too did five loaded semis, with the steel forms to be used on the buildings from MetalDom.

The site is far more advanced than these old pictures show, I'll post some newer pictures later!

Fabricated in France by the celebrated engineers Baudet Donon & Cie, the Iron Market was originally conceived of as a railway station bound for Cairo, but ended up for unknown reasons in Port-au-Prince in 1889 where it has been a gathering place for millions of Haitians for 120 years. The market has survived two disastrous setbacks in recent years: a devastating fire in 2008 which destroyed the market's northern structure, and the cataclysmic earthquake that shattered Port-au-Prince at the beginning of 2010, severely damaging the central tower and part of the southern range.
