Clarion University Construction Update -- 3/23/08
|
|
Campbell Hall Demolition and
South Campus Parking Lot Debris continues
to be removed and the site prepared for the parking lot. Approval of
the parking lot project is scheduled for the March Clarion
University Council of Trustees
meeting on and
the April Pennsylvania
State System Board of Governors meeting. |

Dining
Hall The
blocks have been
laid on the
north side of the exterior, with the road between Carrier and the
new dining hall still
restricted to one lane. Additionally, at some point the walkway
from parking lot 6 and lot H to Carrier may be obstructed for a day or two due to
utility line work from the new Dining Hall to the manhole at the northeast
corner. Work in the near future will focus on adding more
block to the structure and other utility tasks before putting a brick
façade on the block. This project is on
schedule. |

|
Workers continue
adding steel framing within the steel girders to
accommodate the exterior
wall. The heating and ventilation ductwork has now
been installed on each floor. This construction is behind schedule,
with the building now projected to open late May
2009. |
|
|
On-Campus
Residences Workers on this
project have continued framing and will soon be installing windows in the
completed wood frame. The Ralston flats construction, building # 2
is on schedule while the Wood Street construction, building # 1 is close
enough to scheduled completion date to make up lost time as the weather
improves. |
