Academic Building Addition and Renovation
- Construction continues on the wellness center in the areas of LM032, LM034 and LM036. Noise from normal construction activities is to be expected. If the noise is overly disruptive, please call Dave Semnoski, 540-841-4134.
- On Saturday, September 30, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., new ceiling framing outside of the bookstore will take place. Please use L Building main corridor to access the café during these times.
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 has been installed in parking at the south end of Lot A/B at the southeast end. Site work will impact several parking spots on East Road in the coming weeks. Silt fencing installation will begin next week. Site clearing and excavation will begin after the silt fencing is installed. Even though measures will be taken to minimize dust, site exaction will create some dust around the site. Please keep this in mind when choosing parking around this area.
