During work Tuesday, construction company employee Tommy Forrester of Columbus uncovered bricks from the footing of historic Old Main Dormitory. Destroyed by fire in 1959, the 512-room student residence now is the site of McCool Hall, home to the College of Business and Industry. The 31-year-old McCool is undergoing a major expansion.
