The new Language Arts Complex building is open for classes. Construction activity on the interior is nearly complete, and exterior finishing continues with metal panel installation.

Expecting the delivery of large trees toward the end of the week, with large equipment causing increased construction traffic.

GenEd Bldg Demo Project - Campus and Measure M:
The General Education building on campus is scheduled to be demolished by the end of 2023, and new landscaping in place before the end of the spring 2024 semester. Preparation for the demolition continues with abatement activity and the erection of the construction fence around the project later in the week. There will be increased construction vehicle activity around the building that may impact the access road north of the GenEd bldg. Extra care should be taken on this access road and around this building. Please watch for and steer clear of areas with caution tape. There will be no pedestrian access within the construction fence. Noise level will be low to moderate for these activities. (See attached map [PDF] for work area and construction vehicle routes)
