Multicultural Center Construction Update
Since the last construction update, concrete was poured at the site to create columns, walkways, and fill. The critical path for construction continues to be getting a roof on the entire structure prior to the wet season this fall.
Structural Steel
7th Floor
Last week contractors built temporary constructions walls outside VU 714 so they can begin the demolition of that space. Work adjacent to KUGS has been carefully scheduled and coordinated between WWU, engineers and construction contractors so that KUGS can continue to operate. Much of the complexity comes from determining how new and old systems (like fire, electrical and plumbing) will interface during construction and then at the end of the project. Contractors plan to complete some demolition, framing and rough in work at that location over the next few weeks as a coordinated plan continues to be developed.
