Five major construction projects going on this summer

The end of classes once again brings construction and renovation projects to the campus. This year, the major summer projects, according to Carol Wooten, assistant vice president of planning and construction, are:

• Wilbour Hall: The project will renovate the building containing headquarters of the History of Math and Egyptology departments and some offices of the English department. Interior renovations include a new heating system, rewiring, fire and safety improvements, painting and carpeting. The project began last December and is expected to be completed by September.

• Wriston Quad: This is the second phase of the project to renovate the nine buildings of Wriston Quadrangle. Attention this summer will be on Buxton, Chapin, Sears and Wayland. The work includes rewiring, new kitchens, lounges, some mechanical system improvements, bathroom renovations, painting and new carpeting. The majority of the work will begin in June and be completed in August.

• Blue Room in Faunce House: Renovations to the Blue Room on the first floor and lower Blue Room on the basement level will include a new campus market. Renovations upstairs will include new equipment, flooring, lighting, installation of air conditioning, painting and furnishings. The work is expected to be completed in November.
