Anyone who has ventured around campus knows there’s construction
going on in several locations. Here’s a rundown of what’s happening.
Over on College Road, next to Forest Park and across from Kingsbury Hall,
the mini dorms Sackett and Woodruff Halls have been torn down as work continues
on two new undergraduate dorms. Building A will house approximately 289
students and Building B, about 203.
A pedestrian way at DeMeritt Circle is being rerouted behind the buildings.
The new dorms being built near Forest Park
The work to reconfigure parts of Main Street is well underway with the
layout for the new bus stop pullouts clearly delineated. The road is being
redesigned from Pettee Brooke Lane west to the bridge at Cowell Stadium.
The hot water emergency repairs along Main Street, across from Congreve,
have begun. There are plywood covers over open utility trenches in three
locations. Demolition of the damaged pipe will start next week.
The area around DeMeritt Hall is fenced and the access driveway over the
steam tunnel is being installed. The removal of the two big pine trees
in front of the building will happen soon. DeMeritt is being demolished
to make way for a new state-of-the-art physics building.
Renovations are set to begin on Fairchild with the work area taking place
in the Mills Quad. However, on the Main Street side, a fence will cut off
the walkway closest to the dorm since work must be done in that area this
summer. A second walkway will remain accessible.
Stillings Hall is fenced and construction has been started. Philbrook
parking also has a construction fence for the dishwashing system replacement,
which is part of the Stillings contract.
Southern Underpass is still restricted for painting but should be open
to traffic soon.
Work is nearing completion on the southern underpass
And the backhoes are active in front of Nesmith Hall where the driveway
is being moved off Main Street to College Road.
