Going forward, there will be some activity in close proximity Hatfield, Wright and Bass from time to time, and Facilities will continue to provide advanced notice as those events are scheduled.
Next up: on Thursday, September 13 there will be a concrete pumper and cement deliveries to the construction site behind Hatfield Hall in the afternoon. The cement truck deliveries will be through the John M. Green gate and the construction access gate near Hatfield, with a concrete pumping truck parked out behind the building. Work will be completed around 3 p.m.
