For now, Goodnow Drive will remain open. The university and construction managers are meeting to finalize the layout of walking routes for students making their way from the AMRs to classes in the upper and lower quads. These routes will shift from time to time, as construction winds up in one area and moves to another. We'll have updates here as they become available. As the southern portion of the lower quad opened to pedestrians earlier this week, some workers were still there, bolting down benches, mulching planting beds, firing up lamp posts and taking care of other details.
Some work remains to be done over coming weeks and months.
For instance, new trash and recycling cans are also to be installed. Structurally, the expanded Jenkins loading dock is all but complete. The final touch comes in mid-September, when a new copper roof arrives. The roof will mirror the look of the portico above the dock as well as protect delivered goods from the elements. Charles Diggins is feeling good.
