There are a number of construction activities related to the Center of Excellence project underway at the Innovative Technologies complex that will take place May 14 through May 30.
-At approximately 7 a.m. on Monday, May 21, a crane will be located on the south lawn of E&S west of the main entrance.
From Tuesday, May 22 through Friday, May 25, the first row of parking spaces in lot J will be barricaded. Disability parking will be available at the Biotechnology Building entrance. Trucks will be delivering steel to the main entrance area of E&S and caution is urged around truck traffic. From
-7 a.m. to 4 p.m. during this period, steel will be delivered and set up on the roof. The main entrance and rotunda entrance will be closed during this activity and building occupants and visitors will be directed to use the Biotechnology entrance or the Engineering and Science loading dock entrance during this time. Signs will be used to indicate closures/detours. In case of emergency, all the usual entrances and exits will be available and construction activity will be halted. Throughout the steel delivery/placement, the contractor will set up temporary barriers to keep people clear of the E&S main stair, lobby, and main corridor under the skylights while steel is lifted. This will not take long and we ask for your patience to keep these areas clear and safe.

Improvements will be made to Library corridors where the English department offices are located as well as floors above and below. Work will begin after Commencement. The first three weeks will consist of asbestos abatement and ceiling demolition, one week per floor. This means that all offices off of the hallway being abated will not be accessible during that one week period.
This renovation will provide new floor tiles, ceilings, improved lighting, fresh paint and new or refurbished doors to the hallways. There will be inconveniences such as paint smells, construction noise, intermittent limited access during the project. Floors will be re-tiled after 3:30 in the afternoon so that some access can be maintained during the day. The project will be complete before the start of the fall semester.
