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.
