From Roofs to Walks, a Busy Summer for Campus Operations

The Campus Operations "to do" list ran longer than most this summer.

Staffers and contractors were busy with improvements to residence halls, academic buildings and grounds, said David Grzybowski, director of campus operations.

Among the projects, they replaced the lights and poles above Frank Bailey Field, renovated the cupola atop West College, and replaced roofs on Webster House and Alumni Gym.

At ground level and below, workers installed a sprinkler system in Library Field around the Nott Memorial and did steam line and sidewalk replacement to the south and west of Science and Engineering and Bailey Hall. New sidewalks and stairs now replace former dirt paths west of Psi Upsilon and between Webster and Davidson.

Among other projects:

o Renovation of bathrooms in Bailey Hall and Humanities;

o Carpet replacement in Reamer Campus Center, Arts and Social Sciences;

o Landscaping, paving and a new sculpture display area north of Arts overlooking Jackson's Garden;

o New plantings in front of Memorial Chapel and Becker Hall;

o Stone stairway and new entrance to Jackson's Garden from Chester Arthur Courtyard;

o Exterior painting of Smith House and Sigma Phi;

o Renovations of the Arts photo lab and print shop;

o Refinishing of walls and floors of racquetball courts in Alumni Gymnasium;

o Renovation of cashier's office in Feigenbaum Hall.
