Main Building – Clinic (C) Area Renovations
- Construction work for Phase 2 will continue on the 2nd, 1st, Main and Ground floors. Please follow directions on all posted signage and do not enter construction areas.
Main Accumulation Area Facility (MAA Building)
- The main accumulation area facility building project has kicked off. Jobsite fencing is scheduled to start on Friday, September 22 or Monday, September 25 which will impact parking in Lot B at the southeast end and several parking spots on East Road. The building will be sited within Parking Lot A and the sloped bank next to the east dock. Site clearing and excavation will begin after the fencing is installed. Site excavation will create airborne dust especially if the soil is dry so please keep this in mind when choosing parking around this area.
