years.
1. MS Restroom Renovation – The Max Salazar
restrooms on the first through fourth floors will be
renovated in two phases the construction duration
is expected to be five months...pending no
unexpected surprises. We are projecting that the
first phase which will be the MEN and WOMEN
restrooms on two floors will began construction in
June 2016. The remaining two restrooms will
remain open for use during Phase 1. Phase 2
construction will be the remaining two restrooms.
Note: Two floors of restrooms will be
operational at all times during construction.
2. MS HVAC Project – A new stand-alone utility
plant building located directly north of Max
Salazar. This will affect all pedestrian circulation
north of Max Salazar and will close entrance on
the north side due to safety from construction
activity. Construction duration is expected
throughout the Summer 2016 and Fall 2016
Terms.
Contractor mobilization will be located in the
parking lot west of Max Salazar for the duration of
both projects.
