These are among the construction activities scheduled Oct. 15-21 at the University of Wyoming:

Campus Irrigation Systems (UW Operations, Plumbing and Landscaping Shops) -- Winterizing the campus irrigation system will continue through Oct. 31. Please use caution, as sidewalks and drive areas could become slick or slippery when wet with the cooler temperatures. We appreciate your patience during this time.

Campuswide Fall Roof Cleaning (UW Equipment Shop, Flynn Brighton Co., Big Horn Roofing, Laramie; Dec. 1) -- A man lift will be used at various locations on campus buildings with gutters and downspouts to clean leaves and debris before winter. Work will affect parking and pedestrian sidewalks at several locations for short periods of time. Please be cautious to stay clear of equipment and safety barricades, and watch for cleaning crews’ activities.

Campus Roof Replacements (Big Horn Roofing, Laramie; November 2017) -- Roof replacements are being finished at the Arena-Auditorium, weather permitting. Please use caution around work areas.

The Agriculture C west-end double-door entrance has scaffolding. Pedestrian traffic is routed through a scaffold passage tunnel to protect pedestrians from drop hazards from work occurring above. Please use caution around crews.

Cheyenne Family Medicine (Simon Contractors, Cheyenne; November 2017) -- Reconstruction of the north parking lot is ongoing. Work will require partial closure of the lot. Please use caution around work crews.

Wildcatter Suites Filter Upgrades (Mullen’s Heating, Laramie) -- Filter upgrades will be conducted in the main air-handling unit that serves the Wildcatter Suites Oct. 16-17 and Oct. 19. The unit will be shut down for several hours during the day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this will help us in terms of energy efficiency and better air filtration in the building.

Earth Sciences Building Filter Upgrades (Mullen’s Heating, Laramie) -- Filter upgrades will be conducted in the main air-handling unit in the basement of Earth Sciences Oct. 31-Nov. 3. The unit will be shut down for several hours during the day. The exhaust fan will run, but we request that researchers not use the hoods because the supply air will be shut off and the make-up air will then have to come from corridors and/or exterior doors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this will help us in terms of energy efficiency and better air filtration in the building.
