We have three new projects that we have recently begun.  We have just started work on a new sanitary sewer for the Child Development Center.  Previously the CDC had been served by a sceptic system but will now be connected to the Sanitary District’s sewer system.  You may see some activity in the western section of the Hamilton area that is associated with this project.

We are also beginning an update of the UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) systems and cooling systems in the Information Systems area of Menard Hall.  This will allow for a safer and more efficient use of these rooms in the lower level of the building.

Finally, we are installing two new boilers in the Millennium Center.  This is an emergency project necessitated by leaking hot water pipes from the Physical Plant in Sangamon Hall.  Without new boilers we would be unable to provide heat to the Millennium Center this winter.  We will be barricading off some areas on the west side of the building and are appreciative of your understanding and patience as we strive to complete the project prior to the heating season coming up at the end of October.

Thank you,
Hugh Garvey, Asst. VP Construction
