Summer Main Lot Upgrades to Begin

May 19, 2017

As required by the City of Portland, the University will be completing required measures to take care of non-conforming issues in the main parking lot this summer. Workers will install 28 curbed planter areas with 54 new trees and an accessible crosswalk between the soccer field and Franz Hall. The plan is to start with the crosswalk and planters in the middle of the lot and then work towards the Pilot House. Lanes will be closed as needed to complete each section of this work and will create turn lanes to access all areas of the lot. Each closure will take 100 spaces off line and will take approximately two to three weeks to complete. There will be a website to track progress and to show lane and parking closures with routing changes.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Paul Luty at x8874 or luty@up.edu.

Beauchamp Center Construction Underway

June 16, 2014

poormanravelli2Construction on the Beauchamp Recreation & Wellness Center started on May 19 with removal of the sod and retaining wall, according to Paul Luty, director of facilities planning and construction. Job trailers were set up and fencing put in place to keep curious onlookers at a safe distance. Site excavation commenced next, with all soil removed from the site being trucked down to the River Campus to be reused for future soccer and track facilities. The oak trees and the old public safety house came down next, with the help of Fr. Mark Poorman and Jim Ravelli (pictured before their turn at the controls of the excavator). All the concrete from the old site was hauled down to the River Campus to be ground up for use elsewhere. Next the workers excavated the two lower recreation courts and started digging and setting four new stormwater drywells. The first footings for the new building will be dug and formed this week, with a concrete pour scheduled the week of June 23. The oak tree trunks will be milled to be used in the new recreation building and/or the Cove project.

For more information on campus construction projects contact Luty at 8874 or luty@up.edu.
