April 2024
- Hekman Library
- On the 300 level, door preparation and millwork on the banquettes, seating, and cabinets are in progress. Work on the ceiling and drywall installation is also in progress.
- On the 200 and 100 levels, work has begun on bathrooms and painting preparations.
- At Hiemenga Hall, interior framing and mechanical projects are in flight. From there, construction teams will begin hanging drywall.
- Outdoor Athletics
- On the track project, drainage work will be done to address water issues to the west of the new practice soccer field.
- The entire new open area north of the road off the East Paris entrance is off limits to runners, walkers, and other forms of foot traffic. Those areas have been seeded and further top dressing and seeding will be done. We hope to open this new space for the fall cross country and soccer seasons, but the grass will require an undisturbed summer of growth to allow that to happen. Signs will be posted to mark the affected areas where foot traffic should be avoided.
- Work on the football building has moved indoors as HVAC and plumbing is being installed. On the exterior, the roof has been completed and metal work and brick work are being finalized.
- The next two months of work on the soccer stadium will be very busy. Some steel has already arrived and cranes are coming in to move and install steel starting early the week of April 15. Once steel goes up, teams will begin adding additional masonry around the steel.
- Cadaver Lab
- The lab’s construction has progressed smoothly, and we are currently anticipating an early completion date. The delivery date was originally planned for early July; now, the team is targeting June 1.
- Calvin Information Technology (CIT) is planning to deliver the Virtual Lab by July 1.
- A dedication for these new facilities will be planned for September.
