Girded.

I can't recall ever seeing so much scaffolding around a building.

The loins of the McEwan Hall have been well and truly girded;I can't imagine what it is that needs to be done to the building for so much iron work to appear, but I hope it won't prevent this year's students from feeling to the full, the chill fear of sitting exams in that space inside, or conversely, the euphoria of graduating there in the summer.
