Work is beginning on the plaza area. The new parking lot has been built and concrete will begin to be poured shortly. We will then tie the new lot into the existing Olin lot and should finish this by mid-October. We have dug the new swimming pool and will pour the foundation shortly. While the pool will be completed by early Fall, we will not be able to open it until the fitness center is finished.
Work is also about to begin on the lower end of the new plaza, near the football field entrance.
This portion is expected to be finished by September. Much of the work on the upper and lower levels of the College Center has also been completed-demolition, pouring concrete for the addition, framing the new areas, building the atrium area and elevator shaft, etc. We expect to complete the temporary food serving area on the lower level by the end of August when students return. We will finish the rest of the lower level by mid-October and the upper level by January 1. With the closing of the dining room in mid-June, the contractor gained the main floor and work is proceeding rapidly.
