Facilities Planning Project Managers' Report:
Information Technology (IT) Center -- The Data Center was successfully moved from the old Ivinson Building during the holiday break. Portions of the new building, including the new Data Center, have been used since Dec. 20. Some punch list work (final items to complete on list after walk through of a project) remains in several locations. The contractors will continue to work on these items during the next few weeks.
Work on the exterior building and landscaping that is incomplete or
was added late in the schedule will be completed as the weather permits.
The interior signs, furniture, and other owner-provided items are being
ordered and will be installed as they arrive.

Student Health/Cheney International Center -- Work resumes on the Cheney Plaza this week. Boulders will continue to be set and benches to be constructed. The front door frame to the Student Health building has arrived and will be installed. The lobby area is under construction and should be completed in a week. Students will continue to enter from the east side of the building until the front door area is finished. Student Health offices and the pharmacy on the first floor have been moved to the second floor. Offices located in the basement will remain at this point in time. Construction continues in the west wing of the vacated first and second floors.
