As planned last year, the project team of High Construction, MCA, and Facilities Management staff opened the Lyet wing, moved Biology from Esbenshade, demolished the Biology areas in Esbenshade and completed portions of SMEC Phase II over the summer. This link will take you to the Facilities Management a memo which reviews the status of the Phase II work, the construction plans for fall semester and planning for the next phase of the SMEC project.

Some of the Esbenshade hallways are open and the “you are here” drawings showing the occupied areas are posted in Musser, the Lyet wing, and Esbenshade. You may view the drawings via this link. As construction continues on portions of Phase II, you will encounter workers in the hallways and in other portions of the building. The High Construction Superintendent has been provided with class schedules so he can coordinate his work with class schedules. The majority of the noisy construction work was completed this summer, but there may be limited noise during the semester.

During the fall semester portions of the hallways will be completed and finishes will be installed. Some hallways will not be completed until Phase III, tentatively scheduled for summer 2008.

Thank you for your patience as we complete the next phase of the SMEC project.
