South Lot Repairs underway

On Tuesday, May 23 ground boring activity will occur in South Lot. The row of South Lot adjacent to the Engineering and Industry Building will be offline as a result of this activity. There was significant ground heaving during the seasonal break up this year. This work will inform our approach to mitigating this heaving in the future.

Natural Sciences Building Heating and Cooling Project

Work is underway this summer to install heating and cooling systems in the Natural Sciences Building. The heating and cooling for the building is presently served by a utility building across the East Campus Central Lot. The impacted area includes the wooded area north of the building and a section of the East Campus Central Lot. Work will include installation of boilers and drilling a cooling well in the wooded area north of the building.

Due to the impacted area, the pathway on the north side of the building will be closed. Pedestrians using the exterior paths should utilize the pathway along Providence Drive.

The Natural Sciences Building will remain accessible during construction. The interior pathway through the spine will be maintained.
