We are getting close to starting our STEAM (Bracken) building project. Bayley, our contractor, has provided a schedule for the next few months. A few tasks to highlight will be the construction of a new ramp from 2300, Abatement of 2200, Demoing of 2200, and tree removal around the new STEAM site.
Each of these tasks will result in noisy work and dust. Below is the fence plan which highlights where they will place their construction fencing around campus. As part of the fencing, Bayley will be constructing a new ramp on the west side of 1800 for access to 1800 building from the west parking lots.
Also below is the logistics plan which indicates where the construction trailers will be placed, what parking areas will be fenced off for use by the contractor, where flaggers will be placed, and how trucks will move around campus and access the construction zone.
The fire lane in between 1800 and 1700 buildings will be used as a pass through for the construction site. This fire lane will remain open for pedestrian use and access to the accessibility parking on the west side of the 4000 building.
More information to follow as the project team and Bayley start our weekly construction meetings, and more information is provided. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
