Summer building projects scheduled

Various summer renovations and projects around campus should not hinder students attending classes or other activities.

During the summer term, the Bowen-Thompson Student Union will be undergoing some technology upgrades as well as minor mechanical and interior upgrades.

A project for the Ice Arena is also being studied for the potential of installing a solar collection system aimed to provide energy savings to the building.

“There will be a fire safety audit for all residence halls in order to assess priorities and what is necessary for improvement of fire safety,” said Jim McArthur, director of Design and Construction, University Architect.

Lighting and a new sidewalk will be installed along Alumni Drive, and exterior masonry restoration of the Business Administration building will also take place.

“The campus will be a lot better than it was last year in terms of construction, when we had the Supernet project as well as the building of the Union,” McArthur said. “It will seem very quiet considering the projects we are doing.”

According to McArthur, landscaping design work is in progress for Prout Chapel as well as the Fine Arts building. Bathroom and laundry room renovations in Kohl Hall and more campus improvements in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act regulations will also take place this summer.

Many projects around campus are currently being planned for the summer of 2003.

According to McArthur, planning is currently taking place for many other future projects and renovations around campus such as the Jerome Library and Hanna, Moseley and University Halls.

A Living and Learning Center is being designed for possible construction in Kohl Hall. This project would involve the addition of several classrooms, upgrades in technology, a new elevator, roof replacement and improvements in the heating and cooling system.

“We are also working on feasibility planning to determine what the future will be for the Saddlemire Student Services building,” McArthur said. “Also, we are in the middle of master planning to determine how we might positively affect the future of BGSU and how we might increase the quality of the campus environment.”
