This project is addressing underground storm repairs along the south side of the Garrett Annex in plans to address below-grade water infiltration into the Annex offices.
Annex stairs will be closed beginning July 11, 2025.
Utility work will begin July 14, 2025.
Permanent ADA ramp will be reopened by August 26, 2025.
Project scope is to decommission the solar panels on Ridley Hall (and the bookstore later). Both systems were part of “roof lease” program since 2015 but have not been functional for some time.
Dominion Energy's contractors - Sun Tribe Solar, Optimum Electric will be performing the decommissioning of the modules and the system.
It is the intent to have Ridley Hall removal completed before the fall semester begins.
The Chillers and auxiliary equipment in the basement of Chemistry Addition are near the end of their life cycle and are due for replacement to increase plant efficiency. This project will be removing all the chillers and supporting equipment and will be replacing with new.
The project is currently in the design phase and there is a need for non-destructive testing of the direct buried condenser water piping that goes from the basement of Chemistry Addition to the cooling towers adjacent to the loading dock at AFC. This testing will determine if this piping can be re-used or if it needs replacement.
To perform these tests a few small locations will have to be excavated to expose the piping. Each excavation will be an area of approximately 8'x8'.
The excavation work will begin Monday July 7th and work will be completed and holes backfilled by Friday July 11th .
From June 2, 2025 through August 15, 2025 Colonnade Alley will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In case of emergency, Colonnade Club occupants can egress into the parking court. Access to the Women's Restroom will be maintained.
This work will be phased and not all pedestrian routes will be closed at all times. Signage will reflect the safest routes to walk and will be updated by the contractor.
L-Parking Permits will be honored throughout any Alley L-Lot throughout the summer to accommodate the temporary parking space removal. The Colonnade Club will work with guests directly on special parking needs.
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained by the contractor in case of emergency. This approach has been reviewed by the Fire Marshall.
Scaffolding will be constructed around the Pavilion I columns on June 3rd.
Access to the ramp and walkway will remain open and overhead protection will be provided.
It is expected to remain in place through September.
