The building, resembling a large steel and glass shopping mall with a front opening up into a stage, appears to be complete except for inside fixtures. On the site Wednesday, workers installing water pipes in an adjacent building housing a KFC and a Pizza Hut concurred with the official assessment that the pavilion would open on time.

The sponsors of the American pavilion are mostly corporations doing business in China -- such as Chevron, PepsiCo and Marriott -- who see the expo as an opportunity to build brand recognition among the Chinese who will make up the bulk of fair-goers.
