Construction 45% Complete!
Posted By Adam Talley, Sep 30, 2009
The campus office of Architects and Engineers reports that the construction of the King Hall expansion is 45% complete and the new wing will be ready for occupancy in May 2010. The contractor is on schedule to complete the exterior (brick, metal panels, windows, and roof) by mid-November, allowing construction to proceed unabated when the rainy season begins. While busy working on the exterior, the contractor has also mobilized multiple construction trades who are busy on the interior of the building, framing interior offices and classrooms, hanging gypsum board, installing fire sprinklers, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. The Dean's Office is working with the campus, contractor, and architect to provide various enhancements, including a drinking fountain in the courtyard, additional interactive displays/kiosks for way-finding, and enhanced donor recognition and branding signage within and outside the building.
