Construction and Renovation Updates
6/12/09

Levan Hall, Summer 2009
Work on the Levan Hall site over the next will involve the continued preparations for new electrical and gas service (hence the trenches throughout).  Excavation continues, and we hope to have the retaining wall between the fishpond and the site completely removed by the end of next week (around June 19). 

Work in and near the parking lots south of Weigle Hall has begun, and those lots will remain closed for the foreseeable future.  This part of the project involves, in part, adjusting the driveway down so emergency vehicles can pass through. 

Due to this project, there will be no water and gas in the Fine Arts Building through the month of June.  Hot water to Weigle and Santa Fe Hall should be re-established by June 17. 

Please keep an eye out for designated walkways and be respectful of the construction boundaries, which are blocked off by fencing.  Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.  Levan Hall will be built as a LEED Silver Certified Building, located between the Fine Arts Building and Weigle Hall.

Library Re-Carpeting

The new carpet in the library is coming out beautifully!  The public areas of the first floor of the library, and the Ault Evers Room, should be completed by Monday, June 15, allowing for visitors to browse for books.  Offices and smaller rooms will be finished over the next two weeks, and the music room will be completed in the fall. 

Fine Arts Building Classroom Renovation

Renovations to FAB 104 are temporarily delayed as we await lighting fixtures, however the room will be ready to use in plenty of time for conference use later this summer, and for the fall semester.  See the below photo. 

Upper Dorm & Suite Swipe Card Installation

We are hoping the swipe card system for outer doors in the upper dorms and suites will be complete by the end of June.
