Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus Projects Updates – October 27, 2023

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:

Leggett Building—Construction

• Takoma Avenue Work: Work for the creation of the new parking lot on Takoma Avenue is continuing as discussed both at the recent and previous Project Update Forums. Asphalt paving to connect the parking lot entrance to Takoma Avenue is continuing inside the fence line. At this stage, there is no need for asphalt trucks on Takoma Avenue.   
  
• Deliveries: As previously updated, materials are being delivered on-site for use within the structure. All trucks are required to follow designated routes to and from the site and must enter and exit on Fenton Street from Philadelphia.

Library/Resource Center—Renovation

• Roof Painting: The re-painting of the existing roof of the Library/Resource Center is continuing.
• Lift: There will be a lift present on the worksite to assist with work on the exterior of the building.
  
• Main Entrance: Excavation for the new entryway to the Library/Resource Center will resume in the near future.  We will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available.
• Exterior Work: The exterior framework installation for the new façade is continuing.

Facilities Master Plan

• Next Steps: As noted in previous updates, our series of community meetings has concluded and the final draft of Facilities Master Plan will now go to the Board of Trustees for review and approval before submission to the state. Please visit our website for additional information.

Thank you,
