Learn how theconstruction was able to be completed in just one year and how assembly linetechniques used in the auto industry were implemented in the construction ofthe building resulting in the unprecedented build time. The building of the Empire State Building wasa result of a very coordinated, organized effort. The materials were prefabricated, labeled,and arrived at the site per a specific schedule so they could be usedimmediately.

These efforts directly impactedwhat still stands today, as the fastest build of a skyscraper in history.
