    Summer 2013 Construction Activity

    On Monday, May 20, construction will begin on many projects across campus; however, four projects involving four buildings will impact the campus community more than other projects. The projects include renovation of the first floor Administration Building bathrooms, renovation of the first floor PAC Barn bathrooms, insulation of the HVAC piping at the School of Engineering, and replacement of the entire exterior skin of the Tidewater unit of the Bayside Housing Complex.

    The Administration Building first-floor ADA bathroom renovation starts May 20 and ends July 31. Contractor: Chapel Construction; RWU PM: Barbara Boisseau, 401-254-3859. The men’s and women’s restrooms on the first floor will be renovated in order to comply with ADA accessibility guidelines. Building occupants are asked to use the restrooms on the basement level and second floor during the project. There will be limited times in which the basement level restrooms will be offline. Notification of such will occur through email.

    The PAC Barn first-floor ADA bathroom renovation starts May 20 and ends July 31. Contractor: Chapel Construction; RWU PM: Steve Terrien, 401-254-3132. The men’s and women’s restrooms on the first floor will be renovated in order to comply with ADA accessibility guidelines. Please be aware that one of the two restrooms in the basement will be offline during the project. Building occupants are asked to share the working restroom during the project. Temporary restroom facilities such as portable restroom units will be provided during summer performances as needed.

    School of Engineering HVAC pipe insulation starts May 20 and ends July 12. Contractor: Anchor Insulation; RWU PM: Steve Terrien, 401-254-3132. New HVAC pipe insulation will be installed throughout the building. HVAC systems will be offline between May 20 and July 12. Temporary portable air conditioning units will be placed in the faculty office areas and SE130.

    The Bayside Tidewater dorm exterior envelope replacement (Phase 2) starts May 20 and ends August 16. Contractor: Behan; RWU PM: Ashley Tully, 254-3643. Phase 2 Tidewater will mirror the Whitecap renovation of last summer with new roofs, windows, doors, siding and landscaping. A temporary secure construction fence will be set up around the entire perimeter of the Tidewater Unit as well as around the two parking areas located just north of Whitecap along Bayside road. Pedestrian access along the west edge of the site will be maintained for the project duration. Traffic will not be impacted; however, construction vehicles, dump trucks and delivery trucks will be on site frequently utilizing the north road for entry and exit to the site. The building will be unoccupied for the project duration.
