CONSTRUCTION

In April, LeChase mobilized on-site to begin installing fencing, job trailers and project/directional and general signage.

This new building consists of (2) four-story wings forming an open angle “L” framing a shared quad with Gates which will link the eastern end of Gates at the Second Third and Fourth floors. It will usher in the use of timber on our campus with the installation of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) on its upper decks. Construction will span approximately 24 months with an anticipated completion of Spring ’25. Boston based Leers Weinzapfel Associates is our design partner.

• The site will encompass the area of the existing baseball field. Fencing will be installed between Gates and Grumman, along Hoy Garage and Hoy Road.
• Pedestrian traffic exiting Hoy Garage south will be directed across Hoy Road for the entirety of the project. Pedestrian exiting to the North will be limited to the 2nd level Campus Road exit.
• The site stairs abutting Hoy Garage at the north will be unavailable for use for the entirety of the project.
• Parkmobile remains an option on the garage ground floor.
• Stay tuned for further specifics.

• With the removal of the bleachers, dugouts, backstop and turf, selective site demolition is substantially complete.
• Construction fencing and gates have been erected. Two large project signs will be erected within the next two weeks.
• Site utility rework will commence
• Site preparation for, and installation of the caissons supporting the south wing is underway.
