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 provides information on the construction of the Catherine and Isiah Leggett Building the campus library renovation in the Resource Center, and the Facilities Master Plan work for Montgomery College.
Upcoming activities are listed below:
Library/Resource Center—Renovation
- Upcoming Weekend Work: Gilbane Construction plans to conduct work on Saturday, February 23. Work will begin at 9 a.m. and will follow the requirements of the noise ordinance.
- Water Line and WSSC Work: WSSC successfully completed testing of the new water line that establishes water service to the building.
- Exterior Work: The installation of exterior wall panels and storefront glass is progressing. The concrete pouring work is advancing as the weather permits. Steel erection for the creation of the canopy at the main entrance is continuing.
- Deliveries: Materials for interior work activities continue to be delivered to the site. All drivers are continuously reminded to adhere to the construction directives, which prohibit project vehicles from proceeding down New York Avenue past Academic Way. These directives also prohibit any vehicles from accessing Takoma Avenue. Representatives from Gilbane Construction will continue to monitor Takoma Avenue and are committed to taking the appropriate action where violations occur.
- Interior Work: Work on the interior of the building is progressing, including the final painting of the walls and cleanup of interior areas.
- Exterior Work: The testing of exterior windows to ensure functionality and efficiency is ongoing.
- Landscaping and Trucks on Takoma Avenue: The installation of remaining landscape materials will advance as weather permits. A limited number of trucks related to the landscaping work and exterior façade testing will be accessing Takoma Avenue as needed. Vehicles will proceed via New York Avenue and enter the construction site from the new Takoma Avenue parking lot entrance. Upon departure, the trucks will turn east on Takoma Avenue to New York Avenue and turn right on Fenton Street.
- Deliveries: As previously updated, materials are being delivered on site for use within the structure. Drivers are routinely reminded they are required to follow the designated routes to and from the site and must enter and exit on Fenton Street from Philadelphia.
