Subject: Construction Notice - Replacement of HVAC Units - Building 5 Rooftop

Hi everyone – the work that was scheduled back in November on the roof of Building 5 to replace four large air conditioning units is ready to get underway.  Please open up the attached file picture because it will add clarity to the events and impacts I am going to attempt to describe -

  1. All four of the Building 5 air conditioning units will be shut down and disconnected on Monday, December 19.  This means no heat, no cooling, and no air circulation throughout Building 5.  No prognosis on when all four units will be up and running again, but, at worse case, it could last until January 14.  Hopefully, when our friends in Building 5 return from the Holiday break in January, one or two units will be up and running, which will provide some heating and air circulation.
  1. Building 5 will be closed on December 21 and December 22, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days.  This is necessary because a crane will be lifting off the units and replacing them with brand new units.  We don’t want anyone in the building during these two crane operations.
  1. Staff Parking Lot 6 will be closed from December 21 thru December 30 to make room for the crane operation and staging area for construction equipment.  However, there will be vehicle access to Building 5’s loading dock during this period except on December 21 and December 22.  The far east end of Staff Parking Lot 6 (nearest the grass soccer field) will already be closed due to construction of disabled parking spaces starting on December 12 (see my previous Construction Notice).
  1. The walkway along the front of Building 5 from Staff Parking Lot 6 will be closed from December 21 to January 14.  You can gain access into the front of Building 5 from the Staff Parking Lot 6 direction by walking around the back of Building 5, past the Bookstore, and using the walkway from Building 2.

All of these dates will be affected by weather and subject to ‘slipping back’  - - I’ll keep everyone posted of any changes.     

Our Swinerton Team will be making sure there are appropriate construction signage posted, that there are barricades out to cordon the areas affected, and that we have a safe operation taking place at all times during this important project period for Building 5.

Thanks -
