Middle school students have been studying the Industrial Revolution in Social Studies class. They became interested in some of the New York skyscrapers that were constructed around that time period. They each researched a building,  drew it and cut it out. It was then placed in the hall along the Hudson River recreation that runs from one end of the building to the other.
