Prior to Commencement, we’d like to update you on what to expect next over the summer regarding renovation projects. Most of the masonry repair on Cass Gym is complete. We have moved over to the south elevation of Sangamon Hall and begun masonry work at the west corner. On Monday, we will begin work on Sangamon and Menard halls where most of our work is concentrated. We have a great deal of tuck pointing to do on the east elevation of Menard and quite a large area of masonry repair to Sangamon and Menard halls on either side of the entry to the Commons.

Later this summer we will be removing and replacing the exterior concrete stairs on the west side of Sangamon Hall, while at the same time we are making parking lot repairs. Within the next two weeks, we should also be starting the new roofing work at Montgomery Hall.

We’ll continue these updates throughout the summer, but if you should have any questions please feel free to call. As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Hugh Garvey, construction manager
