Starting in mid-March and continuing through July, construction activities are scheduled for the Stagg Field Bleacher Renovation at 850 E. 56th Street. The project scope includes installation of new bleachers.
The campus community can expect the following during construction activity:
- Demolition of the existing bleachers and excavation of the surrounding area.
- There will be periods of significant noise around the site associated with work activity such as drilling, jackhammering, sawing, and metal work.
- Dust mitigation measures will be used to limit the spread of dust during demolition and excavation.
- Site fencing will be installed, and access to sidewalks surrounding the location will be maintained throughout the project.
- Traffic control will be provided on 55th Street when trucks are entering or exiting from the construction site.
- With limited exceptions, access to the field, track and tennis courts will be maintained throughout the project.
- At times throughout the project there will be related crane use, impacts to Stagg Field, and large deliveries.
