Asbestos abatement has been completed on half of the second-floor work area. Walls are being erected in that area, while asbestos removal has begun in the other half of the second floor. In the next few months, new permanent transformers will be installed in three or four buildings. Our goal is to publish the proposed schedule so we can get feedback from the campus community. Renovation of elevators is underway in the Library, Computer Center, Fine Arts, Science II, III, IV and the Science Library.
Work is nearly complete on some elevators and is about to get underway on others.
Final details are being worked out to ready field house design contract documents for bidding. Earlier this month, Physical Facilities architects, planners and engineers met to review such items as duct work, plumbing and mechanical systems. The project will be bid in January with a construction start in late spring. A facilities space study exploring the needs of the Watson School of Engineering will be started soon. The study will involve interviews and information gathering with faculty, staff and other stakeholders.
