Social Science Building
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
To: The Lewis & Clark Community
Fr: David Lageson, Facilities Manager
NOISE
This Saturday, February 22nd, there will be activity at the
Social Sciences Project site. Some of you may have noticed
the growing pile of broken concrete at the northern end of
the construction site. This concrete was salvaged from beneath
the classroom and Faculty Office buildings. As part of the
College's "green" approach to construction, we will
grind the salvaged concrete back into gravel which can then
be used as rock fill in the foundation of the new building.
The concrete will be ground on site this saturday. The concrete
grinding operation will be exceptionally noisy and, if the
weather is dry, dusty.
ASBESTOS
A large portion of the construction site has been covered
with an assembly of scaffolding and heavy plastic. This is
a temporary containment facility to protect our community
and other workers on the site from any potential exposure
to hazardous materials. We knew from analyzing building documents
from the 50's and 60's that there would be abandoned steam
pipe runs that could be insulated with asbestos. We built
the containment facility before digging for the pipe, which
we found to be insulated with an unusually high concentration
of asbestos. We also discovered that some parts of the site
contain a debris field at a fairly uniform depth, and that
the debris includes some of the same highly concentrated asbestos.
As long as the asbestos remains undisturbed in the soil it
presents no hazards. The containment we built over the potentially
contaminated portions of the site will protect all of us from
any contamination, as nothing is unearthed until the containment
has been fully erected and tested. These containment are "negative
pressure" structures, so that if there is a rip or tear
anyplace in the plastic it will pull air into the containment,
not exhaust any from it. We constantly monitor the air quality
inside the containment, and again at the mechanical exhaust
ports built into it. The exhaust air going to the outside
has shown no measurable amounts of contamination. The air
testing within the enclosure has shown no measurements high
enough to require any remedial action. Any workers leaving
the containment must go through a series of clean rooms and
showers to assure that there is no possible contamination
outside of the containment.
This abatement process is slowed down by all of the additional
controls and regulations we have put the abatement contractor
under, but our charge to them is to assure that no member
of our community nor any workers on our construction site
are exposed to any hazardous materials. This process has slowed
down the construction activity. Although that hurts our schedule
(and potentially our pocketbook), it does shift some of the
more disturbing construction activities to a period after
final exams this year.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Our Albany Quadrangle renovation is almost complete. When
we are able to begin using the renovated portions of the Albany
complex in mid March I hope everyone will make time to come
by and see the wonderful transformation this former eyesore
has gone through as it takes its rightful place as the shining
gem in the center of the academic portion of our campus. With
no further delays, our Social Sciences Project will be completed
on schedule in the summer of 2004.
If you have any question or concerns about the Social Sciences
Project or any other construction on our campuses, please
contact me and I will see that your concerns are answered.
Thank You,
David Lageson

South Campus Drive
Date: August 9, 2002

3/12/2002-
The second floor office windows on the east side of Olin have been leaking and funding has been approved to investigate the cause of the leaks and a solution to the problem.

Over Spring Break, 3/25-3/29, we will remove the window in office 225 and find a solution. Based upon this investigation, we can make plans to complete the work this summer.

Templeton Student Center roof will be resaturated this summer. This process extends the life of the roof and the warranty another ten years. The work involves removal of existing gravel, saturating the existing roof membrane, replacement of metal flashings and new gravel installed.
The majority of this work will occur this summer, but we are going to remove the existing gravel over Spring Break (3/25-3/29). This will allow the resaturation to start as soon as we get a window of good weather this summer.

Site Work
Site work is complete and planting will begin when cooler weather approaches.
Buildings
All buildings received a temporary certificate of occupancy from the City of Portland on July 29, 2002. This means that the buildings can be legally and safely occupied. On Wednesday, July 31, 2002, substantial completion was issued and the ownership of the buildings was transferred to the College.
The buildings are 99.9% complete with minor "touch-up" work remaining. Over the next few weeks, furniture and equipment will be moved into the buildings in preparation for student move-in on September 1.
The three buildings are still closed for general public access as furniture is moved in and as the contractor completes touch-up work.
Tours will be scheduled throughout August for the curious - please check with Residence Life for a tour schedule.
