These are among the construction activities scheduled Dec. 16-22 at the University of Wyoming.
The UW Facilities Planning Office reports the following activities for the week:
Enzi STEM Facility (Scheduled completion June 2015) -- 11th Street will be closed between Lewis and Bradley streets to allow the contractor to install the sanitary sewer line. Lewis Street will be closed between 11th and 12th streets.
Museum Closed -- The UW Geological Museum is closed for renovation and is scheduled to reopen in January.
Counselor Education Training Clinic (Education Building, scheduled completion mid-December) -- Renovation construction in the northeast portion of the Education Building basement continues toward substantial completion, tentatively scheduled for the week of Dec. 16. Limited access for students, faculty and staff via the northeast building entry remains open. Construction activities and staging areas will be in transition this week, including the possible removal of portions of the temporary site facilities, requiring appropriate caution in the area. Temporary substitute accessible parking has been designated with temporary signage.
White Hall Renovations -- New installations continue on the seventh through 12th floors. Window replacement has started on the 12th floor. The transformer vault concrete walls are complete, with backfilling scheduled for this week. Fencing is placed around the area. The west parking lot will be closed until summer 2013.
ESCo Project (Energy Services Company) -- Long Energy Services Co. employees will be in the Centennial Complex mechanical room this week.
University of Wyoming/Casper College Student Union (UW/CC Student Union, scheduled completion November 2013) -- The primary building enclosure is complete, allowing interior construction activities to proceed on schedule. Framing of interior partitions and mechanical/electrical rough-in continue throughout the UW third- and fourth-floor spaces. Overall project construction is approximately 57 percent complete.
Energy Innovation Center (formerly ERC, at 1020 Lewis St., scheduled completion this month) -- School of Energy Resources personnel have begun moving into the facility. Access to main campus will be between or through Earth Sciences and the Berry Center. Lewis Street will remain closed during construction. Parking will be limited in areas around construction, including the drive along the west side of Engineering. The access from main campus, along the west side of Engineering to Lewis Street, has been reopened. The west end of the ramp, located behind the Engineering Building, will remain closed. Handicapped parking has been relocated to the northwest corner of Lewis and 10th streets, with access through the Berry Center or Earth Sciences Building to main campus.
Cleanup continues throughout the building in areas not initially occupied by School of Energy Resources and Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute personnel. Work on the third floor lab and the second-floor conference rooms, along with 3D visualization space, will be ongoing. The contractor has moved construction staging from the parking area north of Lewis. This will increase congestion and traffic on Lewis. Watch for UW trucks and equipment in addition to the contractors.
The UW Physical Plant reports the following activities for the week. Please direct questions to the service desk, 766-6225.
