And another one bites, another one bites, another one bites the dust…

I missed posting on Milestone Number 2, the east Conditional Certificate of Occupancy that happened on Friday 8/22. An inch further down the road! Folks have been moving into east offices, work rooms, and labs all week.

Does that mean the building is done? No.

Today we hope to get a straight up Occupancy Permit. Will that mean the building is done? No again!

It will mean we can use the building for its intended purposes even as finishes continue. Mainly it means that all of the life safety components are in and fully functional. The large crews that have been on site will be ramping down through Tuesday, September 2^nd. Non-disruptive work will continue during the day, and more disruptive activities will move to the evenings.

Campus sidewalk work that will provide access to Regents and its new mini-quad is well underway but will not be complete until the end of next week. There will be a continuous walk – even if some is temporary - to serve Old Main, Steensland, and Regents at the end of the day today.

Please stay on the walks as work in this zone continues!

Also, permitted occupancy or not, please stay away until Wednesday September 3^rd! Too much going on!
