Beginning Thursday, November 5 through Friday, November 13, a portion of McCormick Road and the south sidewalk will experience temporary modifications due to storm water inlet installation work (McCormick Rd.) and concrete pours (sidewalk).
McCormick Road will remain open throughout the work. Flaggers will be on site to assist
with traffic, but motorists should expect minor delays.
Work blocks existing sidewalks.
No impact to existing building exits and sidewalks.
November 9 - The MIoB project team will start work on the modifications to the door and staircase at the loading dock at the Aurbach research facility in Fontaine.
The project will be installing a new door for personnel and a new staircase. The existing door will be modified to continue loading trash into the dumpster. The existing stair will be removed.
This work will produce noise, vibrations and dust. Barriers will be installed to limit dust and debris into the adjoining loading dock space.
November 16 - The MIoB project team will adjust the site fencing to capture the line of parking in front of the Snyder research facility. The ADA parking in this area will be relocated into two new locations.
As part of the MIoB project, the team will be milling the existing asphalt parking and replacing the waterproofing on the roof of the LiSA facility. This will require the use of hot rubber membranes.
The removal of asphalt and concrete will produce noise, vibrations and dust. The application of hot rubber waterproofing will produce odors that may be perceived outside the project site.
November 30 - The MIoB project team will begin cutting through the exterior concrete wall of the Life Science Annex (LiSA Facility) in Fontaine Research Park. This demolition will be followed by additional construction activities for installation of new doors and finishes for the connecting tunnel between LiSA and the MIoB project.
This work will entail cutting and chipping of concrete, and though the dust and debris will be contained, there will be loud noise and vibrations during the initial part of this work. We anticipate the major noise/vibration to last 1-2 weeks.
There will be enabling work preceding the start of cutting. This includes installation of a temporary wall barrier on the LiSA side to contain dust and debris. This enabling work will start the week of November 9, 2026.
No impact to existing building exits and sidewalks.
