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

• Deliveries of HVAC Units and Crane: Tentative dates for the delivery of the new HVAC units and a crane are Thursday, August 4, and Friday August 5. Work will also take place Saturday August 6. The deliveries will be brought onto the site from Chicago Avenue. After being placed on the project site, the crane will be used to lift the HVAC units onto the rooftop. If there are unforeseen delays, the crane operation will be re-scheduled. With approval from the City of Takoma Park, Henley Construction has reserved several Chicago Avenue metered parking spaces to mitigate disruptions and facilitate access to the site over these three days. Additionally, workers with flags will guide traffic to avoid disruptions.
• Piping Installation: The underground pipe installation continues. Once the installation is complete, disturbed topsoil will be restored, seeded and mulched.
