The UW Facilities Planning Office reports the following activities for the week:
Enzi STEM Facility -- The parking lot on the east side of 10th and Lewis streets is closed. The contractor will fill in foundations on the east side for the start of the construction of the Michael B. Enzi STEM Facility. Street parking along the site is now open.

Flood lights are installed, and the remaining concrete pad installation is scheduled this week. Commemoration plaques will be installed the first part of November. All four metered spaces and motorcycle parking are blocked off for contractor staging. Work may require the Ivinson sidewalk to be closed at times, so pedestrians will need to go around the area. All of the Ivinson parking lot is now open, adding 67 new parking spaces including ADA (Americans with Disability Act) spaces and four metered spaces. Access is from both 10th and 11th streets. Landscaping is complete.
Museum Closed -- The UW Geological Museum is closed for renovation and is scheduled to reopen in January. The first phase of landscaping around the T-Rex area will be complete within the next few days.
Counselor Education Training Clinic (Education Building, scheduled completion mid-December) -- Renovation construction work continues in the northeast portion of the Education Building basement. Limited access for students, faculty and staff via the northeast building entry has reopened. Construction activities and staging will continue, requiring appropriate caution in the area. Construction staging will continue to occupy a portion of the pedestrian walkway and accessible parking area northeast of the Education Building. Temporary substitute accessible parking has been designated with temporary signage.
UW Office Annex (21st Street and Garfield, scheduled completion Nov. 15) -- The project involves partial renovation of the lower level of the west wing for improvements to offices and other adjacent multi-use spaces.
