Campus Construction Update

We are currently managing a project that will replace fan motors which, in concert with our air handling units, push warm or cool air to the spaces in each building.  For this project we are focusing on Sangamon, Menard and Cass.  The work is taking place in the penthouses of each building and some of the noise may be transmitted through our duct system to the spaces below. We apologize for any inconveniences and will try to limit them as much as possible.

Thank you,
Hugh Garvey
AVP Construction
