Dear Campus Community,
We are reaching out to inform you about an upcoming service call that will be conducted the morning of Monday, August 12 on the fire alarm speaker system in PAC. During this service call, the speakers will be tested to ensure all are working properly.
Please note:
Dear Campus Community,
We are reaching out to inform you about an important upcoming project on the Founders Residence Hall roof. For the safety and integrity of the building, we must temporarily remove the green roof to inspect the underlying rubber membrane.
This inspection will help us identify any areas needing repair and determine if replacement is necessary. We’ll use the results of the inspections to guide our planning and scheduling. While we don’t have a specific timeline yet, work may begin as early as Monday, August 5.
F&S will be repairing the concrete steps on the west side of the PAC teardrop entrance. The repairs will include filling cracks and crevices as well as replacing crumbling or broken sections.
Work will begin this week and is expected to be completed mid-to-late August.
The steps will be closed during the work. For your safety, barriers and signage will be placed around the work areas so please use caution when walking in the vicinity.
We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance campus safety and infrastructure.

Construction Highlights
Upcoming Projects
Colonnade Stonework - The repair and restoration of the stonework will be done this summer. Work will include the replacement of irreparable stone along with the filling of cracks and crevices to prevent further damage by water and ice.
Clover 100 & 200 Exterior Renovations - Bids are being sought to renovate the building exteriors of the 100 and 200 buildings in Clover Court. Roofing, guttering, and siding are some of the improvements included in the project.
Please be aware that on Tuesday, May 21, new HVAC rooftop units will be installed on the WUIS building and the Human Resources Building (HRB). There will be a crane onsite to lift the old units off the buildings as well as to place the new units.Â
The crane will be onsite at 7:00 a.m. and work will begin with the WUIS building. The exact crane placement will depend upon the condition of the dryness of the ground. Markers and barricades will be used to cordon off the area where the crane will be located.
Repairs to the UHB hot water heating system are planned for the week of May 13. There will be no interruption to the domestic water system (drinking fountains, sinks, and toilets), but you may notice ladders, tools, and equipment in the hallways and common areas, as well as the temporary removal of ceiling tiles to facilitate access to the piping system.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to maintain our building systems.
