Babbidge Flooring Update – August 30

The best laid plans…..

So, as you are aware from our weekly “chats”, things progressed in our summer flooring renovation much slower than originally anticipated.  As a result, they are still with us.  We are working with them on parameters that are different now to try and balance the need to keep them moving on the project, but not disrupt the usage of the building during the busy semester.  We realize that there are still inconveniences, but the tradeoff is that we will get through this project.   So where are we now?

Levels 2 & 3 Lobbies – they have been completed.  (Terry, we reminded them yesterday of the thresholds for your doorways, hopefully they will be on that today if not done already)

Administrative Offices – the scheduled completion is today.  We will be on target to start moving back in on Tuesday & Wednesday.

Levels 1 & 2 Bathrooms – If they are not yet, they will be open today.  The final piece was getting the toilet paper holders on and that was being done yesterday afternoon when I left.

Elevators – the flooring is done and the elevators are back in service.  They still need to apply the base but I’m sure you will agree they look great!

What’s next:

Basement Bathrooms – They will be demo’ing those starting next week.  Yes, that will mean noise but there isn’t much of an option around this other than a bit of patience.  They will also be working on the Director’s Office bathroom.

Class of ’47 – They will start carpeting in there on Tuesday.

Those areas are the last of the main areas that they will be working on until December break.  They have a lengthy punch list of items that need working on that we will continue to push for work on throughout the semester but it should not close down any major spaces.  December break will see the main stairway, Husky Tech office (this was missed), and the entrance mats for both the South and the West entrances.

If you have any questions, let me or Dave know.

 

Thanks, and have a great weekend!
Jean
