The final brick sealing was successfully completed with the Frank Manor work at the end of July.

The work is complete except for the sealing of the brick which will be done with the Frank Manor masonry work near the end of the month.

The replacement work is half way complete and will finish up this week. Following, the masons begin to clean and reseal the entire south elevation of the building.

The lobby and one office in the front of Zehntbauer have experienced leaks during heavy rains for some time now. After removing some of the brick from the upper south wall of the building, investigation shows a masonry system that has failed and allows water to run down the concrete inner wall and into the building. This project will remove three entire rows of brick, correct the flashing detail, and then clean and seal the entire wall. This work will last about three weeks.

Hartzfeld Roof Resaturation

Gravel and flashing details were completed last week. The project is complete and we have a fully warrantied roof system in place.

Roof saturation is complete. New gravel and flashing details are being completed this week and the project will be complete.

Roofers are removing the existing gravel from the roofs of the buildings this week. This pea gravel is being stored by our Grounds Department for future drainage projects. When we get a stretch of forecasted good weather, the roofers will be back on the roofs to resaturate.

The flat roofs of the four Hartzfeld buildings are in need of resaturation to extend warranties and keep the builidng dry for years to come. Next week, the roofing contractor will begin removing the existing gravel from the roofs. As dry weather permits, the roofs will be resaturated and new gravel installed.

Forest Exterior Painting

After substantial completion was declared on the new residence halls on 7/31, our painters went back to Tamarack and finished the painting.

All five resident buildings and handrails are complete. Half of Tamarack is done and we will wait to complete the north and east side in August, after substantial completion of the new residence halls.

Juniper will be completed this week. Handrails continue to be worked on. Prep work has started on Tamarack.

Spruce is about halfway completed. Summer conferences have moved into Spruce for the week. We have pulled off and continue to work on the many handrails throughout Forest. The upper floor painting of Tamarack has been started this week also.

Alder has been completed and Manzanita will be completed this week as well. The crews will then shift to Spruce. All the handrails throughout the Forest complex are being sanded, prepped and painted as well.

Foundations have been painted. Ponderosa should be completed this week and then we will move on to Alder which will have the same basic color scheme. Juniper, Spruce and Manzanita will follow with Tamarack completed last as the new residence halls wrap up.

Pressure washing continues this week on Ponderosa, Spruce and Juniper. Painting will follow after all the buildings are washed. Some of the building foundations have already been painted. Parking will be blocked off around buildings at times to avoid overspray onto any vehicles.

Facilities Services painters and student helpers will be painting the exteriors of all the Forest buildings this summer. Pressure washing begins on Monday, 5/13 and will continue all week. Painting will occur as weather permits. The colors were chosen to tie into the colors of the new Residence Halls that will be coming on line this fall.

Dubach Lounge Computer Labs

Punch list items were completed last week and the labs are ready for the school year.

The contractor has been completing punch list items this week and the labs will be ready for the start of school.

Construction is under way. Abatement and wall framing were completed last week along with final planning for the IT Department. Concrete core drilling will occur, early in the mornings, the first three days this week. Electricians can then begin to bring conduit up through the floors and throughout Dubach for the two lab spaces.

Dubach Lounge in Templeton will be renovated this summer into new Mac and PC computer labs to replace the labs in Throckmorton. Throckmorton and the rest of the classroom buildings and the Faculty Office Building will be demolished in January of 2003 to make room for the new Social Sciences Building.

Dubach will have a wall built down the middle to divide it into seperate labs. Addtional ventilation will be added to the space along with new lighting. Carpet and paint will be included. The computers and teaching equipment will be brought over from Throckmorton.

Some electrical work will begin next week in the basement, but we will not disturb the function of the lounge until after school is complete. The construction will begin around May 15 and should be completed by July 1.

This is a temporary move until the Albany Renovation is completed which will provide a new food service area.

Our crew has been working on getting the space weather tight and have run into weather delays. The exterior stairwell above has been tarped off to aid in drying out the concrete so that it may be properly sealed inside and out. We expect to complete this next week and then electricians and telecommunications can be run. This delays the move until December or over Winter Break.

The Bike Shop will be relocated out of Albany to allow for the renovation. The new location will be next to the Platteau in the Platt residence hall. We anticipate moving around Thanksgiving.
