MARK JEFFERSON CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Commencing with the end of classes for the Fall Semester, contractors for the
Science Complex project shall prepare the site for start of
construction activities. These activities include the relocation of
underground utilities and the addition to the west side of the existing
Mark Jefferson Science Building. Construction fencing, gates and
temporary barricades shall be placed to separate the construction area
from public parking areas and pedestrian routes. Safety, barrier free
parking, and way finding signage shall be installed as part of this
work.
Vehicle parking in the South Oakwood Lot and McKenny Guest Lot will continue with
modifications. A portion of the McKenny Guest Lot will be reserved for
contractor trailers, material lay-down, and construction deliveries.
Barrier free parking spaces will be created in the South Oakwood Lot
and McKenny Guest Lot to accommodate those areas impacted by the
construction site fencing. Pedestrian crosswalks for barrier free
access to the campus shall be identified by pavement striping.
Pedestrian access to the west side of Mark Jefferson and Strong Hall will be
impacted during the construction period. A temporary pedestrian walkway
shall be erected along the east side of the South Oakwood Lot between
parking areas and the construction fence. The ADA handicap assist
entry-door located at the northeast side of Mark Jefferson will remain
in operation. Within the Mark Jefferson building, the stairwells at the
northeast and southeast corners of the building will remain in
operation for all floors and as a means of emergency egress. The
stairwells at the northwest and southwest corners of the building will
remain in operation for all floors but not as a means of emergency
egress.
Delivery access to the west side of Mark
Jefferson and Strong Hall will be impacted during the construction
period. Temporary delivery access to both buildings will be from the
sidewalk area north of Strong Hall along West Circle Drive. The ground
floor entrance at the northwest side of Strong Hall will remain
accessible. The delivery access to Mark Jefferson shall be made via the
tunnel connecting Strong Hall.
These temporary protective measures shall be in place prior to the
commencement of the Winter 2009 semester classes. They will remain in
place until the completion of the addition.
