FACILITIES DEPARTMENT
SUMMER NEWSLETTER – 2004
For a few years there, we thought we might never see a relatively “slow” summer.
Although our business in Facilities never really slows, this summer does seem to
promise a little less hectic pace for both you and us. Never fear; however, we’ll still
manage to get in your way some this summer as further described below:
A. ADDITIONAL FLYNN CENTER PARKING LOT:
Another new parking lot will be constructed east of the Flynn Center, between
Lot M and the Campus Center loop. This new area will contain approximately
75 parking spaces.
B. COGEN PLANT:
The front of the campus will be
restored early in the summer. The
electric generators will be made
operational to provide us with all
our own electricity except for
RG&E backup.
C. CONCRETE AND BRICK REPAIRS:
Deteriorating building facades will undergo repair again starting this summer
and proceeding through the fall. Most notable of these will be the replacement
and repair to stairwells on the courtyard side of Building 7.
D. BUILDING 10 RESTROOM RENNOVATIONS:
Two restrooms in Building 10 (10-195C & 195D) are scheduled for a complete
top to bottom renovation. This is part of an ongoing plan to refurbish and
modernize our older
restrooms. Each year a
selection is made using
criteria such as volume of
use, present state, and cost to
refurbish. These high-profile
restrooms in Building 10 will
undergo a complete
demolition and top to bottom
rebuild including higher
ceilings, improved lighting,
new wall and floor tile, new
partitions, commodes, sinks
and countertops, as well as
replacing all hardware and installing automatic devices such as flushers and
faucets. This project will result in lighter, brighter, more pleasant restrooms for
college and public users that learn, work, and “play” in our athletic facility.
The “before” picture is included.

will require a two-month period during the summer session.
G. BUILDING 7 ROOF REPLACEMENT:
The Building 7 roof has been giving us fits lately so this project will replace the
aging, problematic roof with a new one, similar to Building 1, 5 & 6 which
have been completed in recent summers.

completed.
