In the meantime, a temporary loading dock for deliveries to support food services is being constructed, and renovations to the first three levels of the existing Campus Center continue. The addition and renovations to the bottom three floors of the existing building are expected to be completed in June 2001, at which time Follett Bookstore, the mailroom, Campus Center operations, and FUSA will move in their permanent locations. Access to dining facilities will be from the bridge on the south side of the building. The fourth floor is scheduled for renovation during summer 2001. The exterior of the addition has been enclosed.
Work continues on the interior as well as half of the floors in the existing facility.
Site work at the front of the building will continue through September. The book collection will be moved to the third floor of the addition from November through the spring. The entire project is expected to be completed in late spring 2001. Formal groundbreaking ceremonies for the Bannow Science Center addition will be held on September 13, but already excavation work has begun. In January, steel will be assembled for the 48,000 square-foot addition on the north side.
