Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus Projects Updates – August 12, 2022

Dear Neighbors,

Thank you for your interest in the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus construction projects. We strive to keep our neighbors informed about significant construction events with this weekly email notification.

This notice will continue to provide information on the construction of the Catherine and Isiah Leggett Building construction and will now include updates regarding the HVAC rooftop replacement on Pavilions 1 and 2 (P1 and P2) and the campus library renovation in the Resource Center.

Upcoming activities are listed below:

Pavilions 1 and 2—HVAC Replacement

• Piping Installation: The underground pipe installation continues. Pressure testing and flushing will be undertaken, following which the disturbed topsoil will be restored using machinery known as a ‘bobcat’ and which has a backup beeper. The ground will then be seeded and mulched. Tree protection measures remain in place.

Leggett Building—Construction 

• Deliveries: Materials continue to be delivered to the site. All trucks are required to follow designated routes to and from the site and must enter and exit on Fenton Street from Philadelphia.
• Interior Work: Interior work on the structure continues to advance.
• Saturday Work: Barton Malow will work this Saturday, August 13, beginning at 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. All work will follow the requirements of the noise ordinance.
• Noise: Mitigation strategies remain in place to follow all requirements of the noise ordinance.

Library/Resource Center—Renovation

• Fiber Cable: New fiber cables will be installed to replace existing cables that connect to the Resource Center.
