Hello Campus Community,
Today we have two Facilities related updates for you.
The first is, on Saturday 3/16, we will be removing a pine tree on campus. The pine tree is on the south end of campus next to the employee parking area between building 1200 and Innis Arden Way. An arborist has assessed the tree and determined that it is a “high risk hazardous” tree and should be removed. The pine tree has compounding structural defects that will worsen and lead to full tree failure. The parking area adjacent to the tree will be sectioned off during the removal process. There will be no impact to Innis Arden way during the removal. At this time, we will not be planting a replacement tree in the same area. However, we will be working with Tree Campus to find a different location for a replacement tree.
For phase 2 of the Cedar building, Forma will be pouring concrete tomorrow, 3/13/24, from 10am to 1pm. Concrete trucks will be accessing the construction site from the fire lane between 1700 and 1800 to 4000. The pathways will remain open however there could be a 30-minute delay between concrete trucks entering and leaving the area. Also, the small stairway at the SW corner of 2900 will be closed to pedestrian access and will not reopen until 3/14/24. FORMA will set up pedestrian detour signage at both ends directing people around this area. Please see the map below. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Kimberlee Clark
Director of Facilities and Capital Projects
