Construction crews have been very busy this summer completing much of the new roadway and plaza work and erecting the steel frame for Dundon-Berchtold Hall, according to Jim Ravelli, University operations. Steel erection and pouring of concrete floors for the building are expected to be complete on August 27, just in time for the start of the Fall 2018 semester, and workers will then move on to the next phase of construction, which will be interior framing.
Much of the roadway and plaza improvements were completed this summer and the new roadway will open for one-way traffic to Waldschmidt Hall on August 17. The construction fencing will be moved back to its position prior to the end of school and the main drive along the Pilot House will return to its prior configuration as a one-way road to the Waldschmidt parking lot. When the main road reopens to Waldschmidt, the Kenna entrance will return to an “exit only” and the right hand turn to enter from Willamette will no longer be allowed. That one-way road will be in place through the completion of the project in June 2019.
