Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus Projects Updates – May 24, 2024

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 and the campus library renovation in the Resource Center for Montgomery College.

Upcoming activities are listed below:

Holiday Updates

• On Monday, May 30 both jobsites will be closed in observance of Memorial Day. There will be no work from Gilbane or Barton Malow during that day.

Library/Resource Center—Renovation  

• Interior Work: Interior work continues to advance, including painting and cleanup of interior areas. The installation of flooring and light fixtures is nearing completion.
  
• Exterior Work: The installation of lighted handrails and canopy lighting at the main entrance on Fenton Street is complete. Lighted handrails are also being installed on the side of the building interior to campus. 
• Tree Protection Fencing: The City of Takoma Park and Montgomery County have approved the removal of the tree protection fencing. This work is continuing. 
• Trucks on Takoma Avenue: A limited number of trucks 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.
