Work scheduled near sidewalks
by Faraday, Montgomery halls

April 28, 2008

Construction of the new underground chilled water piping will take place this week along the east/west sidewalk on the northeast side of Faraday Hall, extending east to Castle Drive. Heavy equipment and heavy truck traffic will pose a hazard to pedestrians in that area.

Portions of the north/south sidewalk on the west side of Montgomery Hall also will be temporarily closed this week. All entrances to Montgomery Hall will remain open during this work. Pipe also will be installed Wednesday beneath Watson Creek, weather permitting.

For safety reasons, pedestrians are urged to avoid these areas while work is in progress. Anticipated working hours are from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Lot 10 will remain closed for use as a construction materials staging area.
