Summer construction

  • Summer 2024 construction

    Several projects will kick off following Commencement. A link to the construction/staging map and more information about the projects is on the "Construction News" web page at the link below. Schedule information on some major projects is still incoming, which will be shared as soon as details are worked out with contractors.

    - An HTHW line project and an electrical upgrade project will affect West Drive and the Bunn Hill Access Road, necessitating pedestrian and vehicular detours at various times from May 20 to July 15. Maps laying out the affected areas and dates of the work are on the Construction News web page. In general, the projects continue phased renovations of campus HTHW and electrical systems. Work to set up staging areas, fencing and temporary walkways is planned from May 13-19. Road and sidewalk closures begin May 20. This work is also detailed on the maps. Most of the work for these projects will be completed by the fall, with major road and sidewalk closures wrapping up by mid-July.

    - The Plaza Deck paver project is being done in two phases. The first phase will affect the area bounded by the Library, Tech Hub, Engineering Building and UU West. It is expected the contractor will begin mobilizing for work in mid-July, with construction to follow. The contractor will work through fall and then suspend work until spring 2025. Pedestrian paths will be created through the work zone and building access will be maintained. The project will replace deteriorating pavers and create new seating areas and landscaping.

    - Work is expected to begin in late summer on a renovation and addition to the Chenango Room. The area affected includes the space currently occupied by the Chenango Room and Einstein Bros. Bagels. Work includes a second-story addition, housing a re-imagined Chenango Room and a dedicated event space, including a terrace and outdoor seating. Panera Bread will occupy the Einstein Bros. Bagel space which will be housed temporarily at John Arthur Cafe beginning in fall 2024. The project is expected to last about 12–18 months.

    - Work is expected to begin in late July on an addition to the East Gym. The two-story addition will be situated on the north side of the East Gym. The 75,000-square-foot addition includes three new gym courts, an expanded FitSpace, an elevated running track and associated auxiliary spaces. A temporary bridge will be put in place near the ITC pedestrian bridge to allow construction vehicles access to the site. Work is expected to take 15 to 18 months to complete.

    - Lot H and Lot Y4 are scheduled to be paved this summer. If funding allows, lots Y2, Y3 and Y5 may also be paved. Notifications will be issued ahead of paving once schedules are confirmed.

    - A turf field will be installed at Newing College. Work is expected to begin following Commencement and be complete in August.

    - The Bearcat Complex practice field will receive new turf. Work is expected to begin following Commencement and be complete in August.

    - Hillside and Mountainview basketball courts will be resurfaced. Work will begin following Commencement and be completed in about a month.

    - Walkways in the Memorial Courtyard will be replaced. Schedule information will be shared when available.

    - Dorm refurbishments will take place at Glenwood and Choconut this summer.
