The following are major site prepation and construction priorities for Library Commons each month.
July
- Temporary fencing will be installed around the construction site and Parking Lot A-North. Pedestrian sidewalks will stay open.
- Signs will be added along campus roads to guide construction traffic and ensure main campus streets remain accessible.
- Utility markers (i.e., small, colored flags) will be placed around the construction site to indicate where it’s safe for crews to dig.
- Construction crews will typically work between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. throughout the summer. Work hours may change in the fall.
- Electrical crews will soon install temporary power for the construction site and begin removing some sidewalks and light poles.
- Plumbing crews will begin underground sewer work between July 7 and July 25. Large equipment and concrete pipes will be delivered.
- Tree removal and ground leveling will begin soon. Foundation work, including drilling for support columns, will start between July 7 and July 25.
August
- Significant priorities and developments for Library Commons taking place in August will be announced soon.
Please note: All activities are subject to change due to weather or material availability.
