Weekly Construction Update (45)

Posted by: admin on September 9, 2011, No Comments

Following is a summary of the planned construction activity for the week of September 12, 2011

New Student Housing Project: – (Project Manager – Tom Bartek tbartek@esu.edu Tel: 3038)
Work for both buildings is progressing well within the recovery schedule and the envelope system is 98% complete for Building ‘A’ and 85% complete for Building ‘B’. Due to recent rain, installation of exterior louvers for the attic mechanical rooms and exterior site work including finish grading and concrete sidewalk work will resume when weather conditions improve. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire suppression systems and installation of interior finishes will continue.

Expected Impact: Minor traffic flow interruption may occur along Isabelle Street to continue street work improvements for concrete curb adjacent to the existing sidewalks and to create a new two-way vehicle entrance into the new Hawthorn parking lot (currently under construction and opening in November). In addition, the asphalt walkway north of Dansbury Common, from Green Street to Isabelle Street will remain closed for underground steam line removal and replacement.

Monroe Hall Renovation Project: – (Project Manager – John Bloshinski II jbloshinski@esu.edu  Tel: 3631)
Geo-thermal well drilling will continue in the quad and is expected to end by September 19, 2011. Interior demolition and asbestos abatement work will continue. The construction fence has been altered to allow the stairs linking Minsi Parking Lot and the sidewalk along Center Street to be open available for use.

Expected Impact: Noise from geo-thermal well drilling and demolition activity.

Marguerite St. Parking Lot:– (Project Manager – John Bloshinski II jbloshinski@esu.edu  Tel: 3631)
Work continues on the site across from the existing parking lot on Gwendolyn Street to create an additional parking lot for 102 cars. Work will continue on the storm water infiltration/detention system.

Expected Impact: Noise, movement of construction vehicle around the site and possible dust.

Caution: You are requested to remain outside all construction fenced–in areas (especially around the New Student Housing and Monroe Hall Projects) and be alert to slow moving construction vehicles exiting and entering the sites. Please observe all construction rerouting signs and for you safety, we urge you not to walk behind parked vehicles along the north side of Normal Street and to use the south side walk along Normal Street adjacent to the Koehler Field House.
