Greetings! With the beginning of construction on our new Science & Technology Corridor just days away (8 days from today, in fact), excitement is growing. We have been working with Ernest Harris, our architect, since last summer on plans to renovate and upgrade the space on the 2nd floor of our Main Building. In January, we hired DHI Construction Services as our Construction Managers. They spent the late winter and spring months developing the budget and construction schedule and hiring the subcontractors for the project. Now, we’re scrambling to move offices, desks and tables, books, lab equipment & computers into storage before June 24th when workers arrive and renovations get under way in earnest. The first job to be tackled is the removal of the old, leaky roof, followed by installation of the new & improved version.
Over the course of the next couple of months I will use this blog to keep you informed about the progress of this much anticipated project. Right now, we anticipate that construction will take about 10 weeks and will be finished by September 2nd, just in time for the 2011-12 academic year.
Please keep Preston in your prayers that all goes well and stays on schedule!
Bravo! Yes, let's pray for an uneventful, smooth building process. Preston deserves the best experience.
